Trunk Leak - Ridiculous Parts Price For Fix - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My particular trunk leak was due to one of these plugs missing at the top outer rim (where the rear window drains down to a channel around the trunk opening lip). It's crazy that these cost $10 a piece - anyone come across an alternative Dorman product or such? For now I used a piece of plastic and siliconed it in place, might just leave it that way.

All kinds of stuff like that available on Amazon or Ali Express, but $10 for something that you know will fit like factory, like Wayne said, cheap peace of mind.
