I have a '97 LS, which I spent my first week of summer vacation fixing up. It leaked in the trunk, and on the passenger's feet, so it smelled pretty bad. I fixed all the leaks, tore out the entire interior, wiped everything down with a water/Borax solution to kill the mildew, and put it all back together.
Well, now it's about the 3rd week of summer, and it's leaking in the trunk AGAIN. Which means the whole car smells like mildew AGAIN.
I put weather stripping around the tail lights, but I'm assuming it didn't work. And I think one of drainage pipes may have busted or something, 'cause there appears to be water in that area too.
Should I buy new tail light gaskets, or is there a cheaper way to fix that leak that'll work? And is this a common problem, or did I just approach it the wrong way and have bad luck?
Also, is there maybe a better, quicker way to kill mildew rather than just wiping everything down with a water/Borax solution?
