Re: Found trunk leak - need advice

Working on a similar issue at the moment on my 02 SLE. Try to turn the seal first, and see if it stops leaking. Mine did not, so I am going to replace the seal. Not sure what was used, but I am sure someone knows what it is. I am going to the glass shop and get whatever they recommend.

Re: New owner

I got my GXP last December and am absolutely loving it. The handling is second to none over my old SSEi - even with snow tires - and the Northstar feels amazingly good to drive, and its still comfortable!

Where is your rust, underneath the gas door?

New owner

Yesterday we traded in the minivan for a 2005 GXP with just over 52k miles. It's a beautiful Pearl White. I'm still in awe over all the features this car has. Things I didn't even know existed. Now it's a fight with the wife over who gets to drive it. The alternative is the Chevy Aveo. This coming ...
