The trunk lid and quarters are all new but the trunk lid seems not to be curved correctly.

Anyway even with the weather strip in place it still leaks water quite a bit.

Is there an oversized weather strip I could use to seal it up??

Thanks

There's noboby making any oversized weatherstripping to compensate for poor-fitting trunk lids or doors to my knowledge

Sounds like your trunk lid needs some adjustment to get it to sit in the right location, usually shimming the hinges gets them to sit right. Adding a 1/16" or 1/8" shim under the front bolt (in relationship to the front of the car) will bring the front edge of the trunk lid down if it's sitting too high.

Or maybe your rear window needs to be resealed because it's leaking water into the trunk.

What car are we taking about here?

It is a 69 Camaro..

The rear window is sealed fine..
I can lay down in the trunk and see day light on the sides..
