Trunk leak found, but how to fix...

Hi Everbody!

After a lot of searching and head scratching I found the leak in my trunk. The first was the antenna seal, ordered the part and will replace this week.

The second area, and the one that greatly contributes to water in the trunk, is the plastic liner on the rear of the trunk by the trunk lock. The plastic is cracked on top and in the lip which allows water to leak through at a pretty considerable rate. Normally I just replace parts, but I’m thinking it would be hard to find this part...so I am at a loss. Should I use some type of sealant? What would you recommend?

In the pics, the cracks are shown. I put electrically grape over as a quick and temporary fix, but to no avail.

Any suggestions? Just happy I finally connected the dots on the leak!
