got a little leak

[spaceman]

now that it has been raining , i noticed that i have a leak in the trunk area . i pulled all the panels and found that the tail lights are the cause .does any one have an idea what i can use to seal that up or shouldigo hunting for new foam.aslo i have a seam on the taillight panel that dont look to have been sealed correcty or over time has fallen off and water is coming in there to ,any ideas what i can use to seal this up . thanks

I'm going to guess that you have a shadow. If it were me I would caulk it or use rtv.

remember you might wanna take it off again!

check the "seam sealer" as well.

ya sorry i thought i mentioned it was a shadow and i know i would have to take them off at one point.went out today and those two things are deffintly leaking (both taillights and the seam) ,just thought there just something that i could use to replace that foam thats on there all ready that you guys have worked with allready .i have to ck wally mart and a craft store for it a little better.

I have an '86 Daytona with the leaking rear tail light issue. I'm guessing they are designed about the same. I rtv'ed them back on. I can replace all the bulbs without removing the tail lights themselves so I figured I had no reason to take them back off. I made sure to check the foam pad was well attached to the lights too. In some places I rtv'ed the foam to the tail light assembly. I hope what I did works because this was the result of the leak:

It rained here last night. I checked my trunk today and it was dry as a bone! It wasn't much of a rain so I'll wait for a real toad strangler before I say it is fixed.
