Default Water leak

Seems like i have a water leak from the RR of the vehicle, puddles in the spare tire well then proceeds to fill up my RR floor pan.

I have read a lot about the tail light seals, would I just be able to cauk them to seal them up?

Both seals are like $12 IIRC. Just replace them. I threw some weatherstripping glue on my new ones just to be extra safe.

Thats one of the reasons i got my neon so cheap cause the previouse owner couldnt figure out why the trunk and back seat would fill with water when it rained, they even shot some of that expanding foam by the tail lights to stop it leaking, if they would of just spent that money they spent on foam for new seals they would of had it fixed.

Haha I am way too lazy to go get the actual parts so I just made a RTV sandwich with the gasket. It's held through a couple of rains now so we'll see how that goes.
