DIY fix boot leakage.

[ksgoh]

silicon can be pull out even it is dry if u apply at metal or glass....

what about the rubber sealant between the door

 

[Indecided]

rubber sealant between the door?

no, no... those are rubber mouldings AFAIK..

sillicone should serve its purpose here, another spot commonly missed is the power antenna hose, the rear light seals (yep, u can replace them...)

ksgoh,
i believe he refers to tar stripes..

where i apply the silicone? Story in ther link already mar...

along the center "lingkang" of the rubber seal and the "L" shape body structure where the seal sits on. As well as the lights.

At first I though the leaking points are near the lights (according to the water marks leaved on tissue paper). But it still leaks after I have seal the gaps on the lights. Then i remove the seal and the leak stopped (it was raining heavily). So must be the seal lor...

after that, until now, no more leaking.

 

[ksgoh]

not really know what is it......but never mind laa......use silicone.....

 

[12oY]
