that what it is then thanks....i checked the seal and i could not find any tears are wetness.
can i just take the lights out and put a bead of clear silicone around them?

i peaked at the lights and i saw cracks in the gasket.....but being there on the trunk lid i didnt think they would cause a leak

after searching again and looking threw several pages i found my answer.
The first time I searched...I only looked at the first page.....and there was only 1 title with trunk leak in it.
It is not like this section gets allot of new post...So I do not see the big deal at all.
I see your Canadian so I understand...I apologize

I had the same problem.
Just take the old one out, clean it, let it dries out, then apply silicone.
Also check the gaskets around the tail lights.

The only thing smart about you is being a smart ***.
