Dear Metallo,

Hope you're well and stay so. Is your car a sedan or a wagon (estate)? I ask, because you use the term "strip", which suggests a straight length of rubber. On wagons, the rear hatch is sealed by a rectangular black rubber seal, with curved corners.

As I've never owned or worked on a sedan, I have not examined how the trunk (boot) opening is sealed. My comments relate only to wagons (estates).

It is possible that Volvo used sealants in addition to the rubber gasket, in some markets but not others.I've never had any problems with leaks around the hatch gasket (or elsewhere).

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
