[W126 Coupe] Rubber seal around trunk

Here's something I don't get. If you take the seal out and close the
trunk, it will go about 2 inches too low, meaning that when the trunk is
level, the seal is the only thing holding it up, therefore there should
be no need for any additional sealer. I suspect that perhaps the trunk
seal is a bit misshapen.

I used a large tube of Silicone sealer in a caulking gun. As much as
possible, get the sealer under the rubber seal. If you want to close the
trunk before the sealer is completely dry, cover it with waxed paper.
