Dont know if this is in the right area but here it goes. I have an 87 Bird and my trunk leaks from best I can tell near the lt corner closest to the back glass. I checked the seal and it looks ok with no rips tears etc. I can push(with the lid shut) on the trunk and get a little play in the lid. Any thoughts will be appreciated
I have leaks in the same exact area on both of my Cougars.
Here's what I think it is:
-On the '86, I think it's the body seam right in that corner. The factory sealant has dried up and it's revealing the metal seam underneath
-On the '96, I think the rear glass is leaking! I poured a cup of water on the roof and watched it dribble down the glass and behind the trim. A few seconds later it was in the trunk.
check all drain areas water does get in there just make sure it flows out easy.
Might want to remove the window moulding in that corner.
You may have a rust hole starting,these cars are bad for that in those area's and you may not see it with the moulding on.
What type of clips hold these mldgs on? I had considered putting a new seal for the trunk on also. Even though this one appears fine I can push on the trunk lid when its shut and get some movement.
