Default Why is My Trunk Getting Wet?

Tongue in cheek…

Check out how this seal is installed on my newly purchased ‘67. Water just rolls right over it. I bought a SoffSeal replacement, any tips to install it?

A few years back I had this exact issue and did some minor compassions between trunk seals on the market.
This small blurb I wrote may be of interest in helping you correct the issue.

Cheers.

Thanks Jeff, I’ll have to measure the Soffseal that I purchased. Which did you end up using?

In my case, the Metro was the best fitting/sealing.
Still holding up well.

I replaced mine with Soffseal and installed it correctly. The one I took out was installed wrong during restoration
