luminal67 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 i was going to seal the nuts that hold my tail lighs in with silicone to stop a trunk leak, and I found something interesting. Unfortunately, my car is rusting bad inside where the end of the quarter panel curves around the back. Inside there, is a seam that sticks up like a fin that has that factory sealer gooped on it. Well i peeled some of it off to see more rust, and when I did, there happened to be a hole where three panel come together. Not a rust hole, it was there from the factory. I could see considerable light through it and it had a rust stain that showed that it was dripping down. so I took some of my silicone and tried sealing it up. we will see how well it works next time it rains. This is on my Lumina and i am unsure how it might work on a GP, cutty or regal. I hope this sheds some light on this VERY annoying subject. -Brian- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminal67 Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 well it's been raining for about 2 days and i looked in my trunk and it's all wet still. I think since i have so much rust around that area inside, that it does no good to block the one hole. It will find it's way in however it can. The only way i think that I can really fix the leak, is to fix the rust first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
