I know for the steering column it was cheap plastic from factory on a metal gear but if there was some way to make a cheap fix for that could last for a year or two and swapped out again, I know I'd buy. I just figured this is something where the common man has a lot more ease of access to vs 22 years ago when the last Gen is Legends were being built. ]]> 1G RL (1996-2004) J138 https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-rl-1996-2004-77/scarce-common-faulty-parts-spitball-thread-1012787/ https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-rl-1996-2004-77/trunk-leak-hunt-1012712/ Wed, 13 May 2026 19:03:12 GMT I have a 2001 Acura RL with ~170,00 miles on it.

I have a persistent trunk leak that I have been unable to track down.
So far I have tried:
Cleaning the drains around the moon roof.
Resealing the roof trim
Resealing the rear window
Replacing the weatherstripping on the trunk

where else could it be coming from? It seems to almost be a "low" leak, in that the trunk lid is dry, but the floor and the molded wells on either side of the trunk are wet--the side pockets even have standing water at times. Any assistance appreciated!
