I replaced my trunk weather stripping with one I got through Fusicks that's manufactured by Metro Molded Products. I followed their installation instructions. When tested with water it's leaking in the corner near the right side hinge and above the inside of the tail light housings. Has anyone experienced leaking on a new seal and what did you do to fix it? Are there tricks to installing the weather stripping that I should know? Thanks

I want to follow up on my leaking issue. I found there is a body seam in the area where it was leaking. The new gasket went over the body seam but didn't seal the channel the seam makes. The water would channel through the seam, under the gasket and leak into the trunk. It then would also travel down the inside to the gasket and leak above the tail light. I added extra sealer by these seams and fixed the leaking.
