After you wash the car - open the trunk and see where the suds collect at the base of the trunk lift piston housing.
Spray your back window and watch the water flow

There is a natural channel for water to continually assault the gasket.

I used snowman snot ( dollar store gooey gum for post it notes on fridge )
built a dam and water channel (placement is obvious) dribble water and modify the snot so the water flows away from the top of the gasket.

Instantly removable always pliable - re-usable.

So far so good for me - waiting for more severe temp and humidity changes for the long term test - will try to post pics soon.
