On the 2007-2010 Saturn Sky all, 2007-2010 Saturn Sky (and Pontiac Solstice / Opel GT — all Kappa platform) has the trunk lid integrate with the soft top stowage. With the top down, the trunk seal is exposed; rain leaks past the seal into the trunk well. Tiny trunk space (only 3.8 cu ft with top stowed) means water pools at the spare-tire well and rusts the floor panel.

This issue also affects: Buick Enclave, Lincoln Continental, Lincoln Navigator

Common Symptoms

  • wet trunk after rain
  • standing water in spare tire well
  • mildew smell

How to Fix

Replace trunk seal if cracked ($60-$120 part); inspect annually. Use 3M weatherstrip adhesive to reseal. Always check spare-tire well after heavy rain. Confirm the top stowage drainage gutters are clear.
