Trunk Leak

What would be the best way to fix this leak? Epoxy? All suggestions welcome. (Sorry about the last picture being so blurry, you can still see where the water is entering at.)

Slab some silicone around there and you'll be good.

what we use at the dealer is stuff called Hightech by kent automotive. stuff comes clear and works great. reminds you a lot of thick supper glue. you could check your local auto parts or dealer parts department.

with what ever you get id make sure to clean the area with some degreaser or gental solvent and then pack it into the crack reall well. no such thing as too much. and then maybe do a layer in the inside.
