If it only leaks when you drive it, either the trunk lid is not lined up properly, or, the trunk gasket is defective.

But I'll bet your Lumina trunk leaks, moving or not, right? The problem is the seam-sealer around the trunk seal, rear window, and door gaskets. It dries up, cracks, and allows water to flow into the trunk. It can also allow water onto your headliner, and even onto the car's carpeting!

I fixed my '92 Lumina by:
1. Remove the trunk gasket, all doors gaskets, and rear-window moulding.
2. Remove all of the old seam-sealer around the trunk, doors, and rear window.
3. Using a caulking gun, apply new seam-sealer to all seams.
4. If desired, sand, prime, and repaint affected areas. Most will be covered by gaskets (no need to paint).
5. Install the trunk and door gaskets. The rear-window moulding, most likely, won't be reusable after removal. It is available at most auto-glass companies, or the dealer. But if you're good with a caulking gun, and want to save some money, forget the rear-window moulding and fill the gap with window-weld sealant.

Today was the first day in six (or more) years that my Lumina's trunk stayed dry...
