my Genesis G70 has water in the trunk, how to find the leak?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and materials needed.
• Tools required: flashlight, T30 Torx screwdriver, silicone sealant, towel for cleanup.
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

2. Inspect and Repair Trunk Seals

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the old trunk weather stripping if it shows signs of wear or damage.
  2. Clean the area where the weather stripping attaches to remove dirt and debris.
  3. Apply new weather stripping, ensuring it adheres properly and creates a complete seal.

3. Check and Seal Tail Light Assemblies

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the tail light assembly using the T30 Torx screwdriver.
  2. Inspect the gasket around the tail light for damage or degradation.
  3. Apply a silicone sealant around the tail light area if the gasket is damaged or missing.
  4. Reinstall the tail light assembly securely.

4. Inspect Trunk Lid Alignment

• Sub-steps:
  1. Open the trunk and check its alignment with the body of the vehicle.
  2. Adjust the trunk hinges if the lid does not close evenly or seal properly.
  3. Tighten any loose bolts on the trunk hinges for a secure fit.

5. Inspect and Reseal Windows

• Sub-steps:
  1. Inspect the seals around the rear window and windshield for cracks or gaps.
  2. If any gaps are found, apply a suitable automotive sealant to reseal the edges.
  3. Allow the sealant to cure as per manufacturer's instructions.
