My Chevy’s leak was just a bad weather stripping. Can anything be more unexpected? I was shocked it was an easy fix—just $100, including the labor. Always check the simple stuff first!

Haha! That’s a classic case of overthinking it! Sometimes the simple solutions make all the difference!
Reflecting on this, I think regular maintenance can prevent these issues. I learned the hard way with my previous car. Ignoring small signs led to expensive repairs later!
I recently had a trunk leak repair on my Chevy, and it cost me about $250, including labor. They replaced a faulty weather strip and sealed some edges. Seems to be pretty typical.
Wow, that’s not too bad! I heard it could go up to $400 or more, especially if you have to replace the trunk lid itself. What parts did you have replaced?
Costs can vary significantly based on what the exact issue is. I’ve seen estimates as low as $150 and as high as $500 for more extensive repairs, just depending on the Chevy model.
This is crucial information! I’m currently looking into the costs because I suspect my trunk seal is failing too.

I’ve dealt with trunk leaks before. A typical cost is around $200 for basic repairs, but if you’re replacing a lot of parts, like the weatherstripping and such, it can definitely climb up.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I definitely think I should get a full inspection and estimate before proceeding.

Just to add a humorous note, if your trunk leaks enough, it might just become a fish tank! Jokes aside, you definitely want to fix it quickly.

I appreciate the humor, but trunk leaks can really impact your car’s interior! You might also want to check for any hidden rust doing more damage. It’s part of the cost consideration too.
Has anyone looked into aftermarket parts for these repairs? I’m curious if they would save money in the long run compared to OEM parts.
Good question! I’m also researching that. I’ve heard mixed reviews, but it could be worth investigating!
