Uum, fix your door seals?
I spent dozens of hours chasing down an elusive `leak' in my 126 trunk with the only symptom being heavy condensation in the trunk lid. When you open it up sheets of water flow down the lid into the front corners and now (since I pulled the rubber plugs at the front corners to let it out) into the gutters. Floor and wheel wells are bone-dry.
All four of my doors have seals with splits on the top. When it rains, I see a small amount of water getting into the cabin through these splits. It does not look like much, but I am beginning to think it is enough be bring moisture into the cabin, which then raises the humidity, which then . . . gets into the trunk through the chassis openings behind the back seat.
Unfortunately, it is too cold and wet here now for me to fix the door seals without a big production. I'm going to have to pull the seals out for a few days, bring them inside, clean them up and sika-flex them back together.
If you beat me to it, let me know if this solves the problem.

As we are into Fall and soon Winter, I've noticed that the changes in temp and the moisture in the air causes massive amounts of condensation to form on the inner trunk surface. The floor of the trunk is dry (I've fixed all the leaks from trunk seal and rear window), but the inner surface of the trunk lid has massive amounts of condensation, likely from the combination of moist air and big swings in temperature throughout the day.
What do you guys do to combat or avoid this?
Thanks,
