No easy but works
I had very much the same problem, adjusted, adjusted and adjusted some more! I measured
I cussed:blush:, and I got totally P'O'
so:
1. I took clear packaging tape and put it on the body around the opening where the seal should touch.
2. Then I put a very thin film of bearing grease on the tape surface
3. Then I cleaned the seal with rubbing alcohol to get dirt and grime off of the seal
4. Then I took a tube of black RTV and put a good size bead on the center of the seal, spread it smooth with a putty knife to approx. 1/8"
thick
5. Close the trunk, let sit for 4 days, (just a guess as to drying time)
6. Opened the trunk, pull the tape off the trunk opening
7. Cleaned grease off of seal with alcohol
Been leak free 4 years and counting
:clapping:
*Note, may not be recommended but worked for me and that is all that counts*
Good luck if you try it!
