I have a 1992 Nissan 240sx hatchback and it has a bad trunk leak. I think it's from the weather stripping because it's pretty torn up. To replace it do I just pull the old one off and put the new one on or do I have to buy any sealants or anything to put on with it ?

It just presses onto the pinch seam. No sealants needed.

If that doesn't totally get rid of it, check around your tail lights with someone spraying water around the trunk. The tail light seals are notorious for leaking.

I crawled in the trunk while someone sprayed it and it was coming from the back windshield wiper. There was no seal around it. But while I was fixing that I found out that when I turn my back windshield wiper on, wiper fluid pours out of two screw holes above the back seat and in the spot where the back seat belts are. I have no idea what is causing that.
