Re: E30 water in trunk

["Allan Williams" <allanw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes the water leaks in under the trunk seal - there are some thinner
parts where water can leak in. Also check the seals around the taillights. I
used

some RTV type refridgeration sealant to seal under the ruber, and around the
lights (it doesn't set quite firmly, so it can be pulled off later)

(Bugger - I just spilt have a glass of sherry on my keyboard so I had to
strip it down and clean it all - this message took me 1.5 hours to write!!!)
