Leaks?

Leaks?
Ok, I'm wondering about something...
I always hear about all the 92-05s having leaks in different parts of the car, trunk, under the windshield, etc...but the thing is...
Leaks don't seem to be apparent in the 87-91s...I FEEL LEFT OUT!!!
I feel that my body style was designed more leak proof than the 92-05s and I just want to make sure everyone knows that
Ok. Well I am wondering. What leaks have been experienced on this gen that I should look out for.
Thanks

Leaks
Well, after spending a few days trying to lock down the source of my trunk leak (turns out to be BOTH the spoiler bolts and the rubber weather seal) I can honestly say that water proofing was obviously over looked when it came to the later-model Bonnevilles. Though, I have to say its a pretty small price to pay for considering how nice the car is overall. Plus, though its a pain to deal with, most of the time you can fix leaks yourself and with little expense.

Water also accumilates in the body cladding. I have washed my car and right after when I am drying it, water comes out of the cladding when I open the doors. My Rear Drivers side door is rusting because of this as well as those rubber things that go on the inside near the rear wheel well.

But I am curious to know why many of these leaks happen on the newer ones and why my gen doesn't seems to have them...
