Default El Nino Effect in my Sols trunk?

I was curious if anyone else has had the problem of water condensing on the inside of there trunk lids and literally raining in your trunk?

If so any ideas on how to fix the damned thing? I ALWAYS completely brush off my car in the winter before going anywhere when im done you wouldn't know i left her outside in the snow.

It is coming from that pillar on either side of the rear window. It's hard to explain, there is a clip there that need to be replaced, then a liberal amount of sealant needs to be put there before the pillar piece is re-attached. To access it you must remove the rear brake light on the roof, and there is also some screws that you get to from opening the trunk and the rest are just clips that hold it in. I got the info a while ago from Team Sol.

Could you elaborate on that some more? it sounds about right, ive had proplems with my targa top leaking honestly i think its from that now reading your post. I need to get the seal that runs along the targo tops driver side ive siliconed the whole thing hoping that would do it, in the end i said screw it and put a towl in the back becuase i was tired of dealing with it. I replaced the main seal as well the $400 one and it did nothing!
