ya ive been waiting on the inner taillights for about 2weeks now slow ebay shipper!!!!!!!
ive hated those turd taillights since i bought the car!


but ya the vin # is screwie.... no one can look up the vin how its printed EVERYWHERE on the car and title.LOL
and YES ITS LEAKING OUT of the trunk lid...looks like something trying to CLAW its way out of my trunk on the bumper cover.LOL mainly looks leaking on the passenger side.... its not on the outside of the trunk lid either its like sprayed inside the skeleton of the trunk lid so its can be really hard to get to! just sucks!

i have yet to wash the car once so its as dirty if not dirtier than when i bought it. besides the front end of course. i just want to be sure the primer is well dried before i take it thru strong carwash.

A lot of undercoating/rustproofing places (here in Canada at least) will spray the inside of the trunk lid (like where your pic shows) to prevent rusting... My wife had hers done and same thing - when summer came the goop started leaking into the trunk... It wasn't too bad, just a few drips... Bit of Goo Gone took care of it.

I think I just threw up some "nasty yellow slime" in my mouth.

The only time I ever noticed it dripping on her car was in the middle of the summer... I think the spray undercoating is a pretty heavy oil, but when it heats up it seems to lower the viscosity a bit.
