Is there an easier way to repair the water leak from the rear trunk hatch? I didn't know where the water was coming from when I first discovered the carpet along the rear trunk hear the edge was all wet. When I took the car to carwash I saw water dripping from the top and a bit on the corner/edge. I did some research and sealed up the top center break light housing. OEM weatherstrip costs over $150! Is there any other fix from various universal weatherstrip sold on Amazon?

Have you checked to see if whatever you did on the brake light worked? Do you want easier or correct?

I had some leaks. Using windoweld on the third brake fixed 98% of it. Then I put in new OEM seals for liftgate (there are two - one for all the way around and also the one that seals the liftgate to the tailgate). Honestly the factory seal for the third brakelight is a joke.
For the seals… Yeah OEM prices suck but so does wet and moldy carpet.

Here are couple pics of the original rear hatch weatherstrip, they are sort of flat, if they are supposed to be more rounded brand new, then I would know this is definitely cause of the leak and need to replace.
