hzl6cm said:The only problem I am having is that when I've washed the car (using a hand held pressure washer at a car wash) I've noticed a bad leak around the passenger side front corner of the trunk lid. When I finished washing it the other day I noticed a stream of water poring in as I got in the car - has anybody else had this problem?
I posted a thread some months ago regarding a similar problem (http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57459&highlight=trunk+leak). I was able to trace the leak to the hinge mounting bolts that go through the hinge plate. It took a bit of experimenting, but the final solution was to remove the mounting bolts one at a time (so as not to affect the adjustment), place a bead of silicone sealant on the threads just under the head of the bolt and reinstall.
Good luck - Craig
