1967 Camaro ss. Leaking trunk
My 67 has water coming in through the rear taillights every time I wash the car. I’ve changed the gaskets twice and no luck at all. Still puddles of water come in. I was told to use silicone on the frame housing between the gasket and the body but I don’t want to mess up the paint in case I ever have to change the gasket in the future. Can anyone give me any ideas ? I’m

Have you checked to make sure the water isn't coming through the lens and not around them ??

I’ll check that. Thx.

Climb inside trunk with a flash light. Close lid and have someone on outside with hose running water around edges, lights etc. and look for water leaking on inside.Worked for me.
|
Have you considered giving your car a sponge bath instead? The garden hose method is the worse way to wash a classic car, getting water in a bunch of places you don't want it to go.

Worked for finding my trunk leak after trying to figure out were water was coming from. Each to there own opinion.

I didn’t realize that there are two gaskets involved with the tail lights. One for the housing and one for the lens. The lens gasket is gone so I think that is the problem. I ordered them so when they come I’ll give that a try. I’ll let u guys know if it works. Thanks guys for the feedback

The sponge bath idea sounds great but how do I get the soap off without water? Ideas?
|
You don't need soap, plain old water gets dirt and grime off just fine. Soap is good for removing grease, oil, or wax though.

I was only kidding about the soap. Lolol. I know water gets off dirt. But. The water is the problem. Remember ? Trunk leak. Someone said deal with the leak and don’t use water. Just sponge bathe her.
