I am not sure if the seal is the main reason, but after 25 years, it's pretty worn out and not too flexible. Moreover, whenever it rains and I open the boot, there is some water that drips from the seal straight onto my luggage.
Today I installed a new aftermarket seal that has a small ridge. Hopefully, this will prevent that dripping. Also, the new seal is much more flexible, stays in place much better and has an extra lip (can be seen on the left hand side in the next photo) that should prevent any water from getting under it:
The only problem with this generic seal is that it is slightly smaller that the original one... so now I am waiting for a rainy day to find out if is not too small
That will be a plan
