i also experiance b4 .. with my car.. so i go buy windscreen plaster black in colour 1.. them pull it long ... so it go thin so can fit in to the boot rubber....fit the plaster in untill above the tail light.. so put the rubble bc.. sore water wont go in...gerenti can 1....

what is windscreen plaster??

ksgoh,
i believe he refers to tar stripes..

where i apply the silicone? Story in ther link already mar...

along the center "lingkang" of the rubber seal and the "L" shape body structure where the seal sits on. As well as the lights.

At first I though the leaking points are near the lights (according to the water marks leaved on tissue paper). But it still leaks after I have seal the gaps on the lights. Then i remove the seal and the leak stopped (it was raining heavily). So must be the seal lor...

after that, until now, no more leaking.
