Also, all along the bottom of the opening, above the bumper, a small strip of weatherstripping covers this tiny gap.

Notice the weatherstrip angles and tucks into this panel gap, leaving a gap for water to get in. This is how it was installed.

I pulled out the weather strip and reinstalled, leaving a small piece of stripping to cover that gap.

See how the weather stripping tucks into this little gap? This is how it was installed.

This is the section of weather strip that I pulled out to cover the gap between body panels. But there’s still about 3” left of body panel gap below this angled section of weather strip. Wondering if it’s supposed to seal all the way to the bumper. Mine has a slight opening there where water presumably enters and exits behind the rear bumper

The is the small section of carpet that would get wet. The water would then get soaked up by the seat bottom carpet making it seem like the whole area was getting dripped on. But it’s just this small section right next to the weatherstrip. I removed the scuff plate to show that it’s totally dry under there.

After: notice how there’s now a strip of rubber below and to the right of the twilight. This strip covers a small gap in the body panel. I think this rubber strip prevents water from going places it shouldn’t.

Before. Notice below and to the right of the taillight and compare to the “after” pic below.

Under the rear bumper this whole area is exposed. Is there supposed to be a cover here?

Tiny bit of moisture below the rear batter but seemed old moisture since it was dirty.

Drivers side new taillight. Small gap between plastic flange and the door weather strip. I have since hit this with a heat gun to gently lay the tail light seal a bit better against the weatherstrip.

Also moist in the bottom of this area, including some moisture underneath the fiber carpet. Mostly on the left side.

Black fiber-carpet was a bit moist right where I’m pointing. But no other vertical surface of this fiber-carpet molded section.
