Accord water leak into boot - mike hannon
My old (92) Accord coupe is having to live outside at the moment and I have started to notice water collecting in the offside back corner of the boot.
I can see it appears to be coming in under the rubber seal around the boot lip but I can't see how it could happen because the seal is intact except for one split on the offside front corner that I have tried to repair. There's no rust underneath it anywhere either.
Should I lift the seal again and put some silicone sealant under it (might be hard to get hold of as I'm in France) or is there something I've missed?
Thanks in advance...
