Great Pictures Icebike
Went out this morning.... I used ordinary scotch tape on my left plastic gasket to see temporarily what will happen. left the old, just went around edge.
I will check the weld bead you show too. Meanwhile I am awaiting a rain. (or hose) Based on your (ICEBIKE) pictures... which are terrific, I looked around some more. Next to plastic gasket that is/was leaking, I noticed Chrysler has some kind of sealant around the bead of the trunk lid which is painted.
Right by the gasket in question, is about 2 1/2" long, lifted 1/32" bead opening off the lid. Suspect two. I am pretty sure it was the plastic gasket. I agree with silverfox on the use of holes, but boy............they are going to have trouble with these.
People will pull them off, and me, being in South Florida, the heat has already lifted my left one so it no longer seals. It looks like Icebike, yours has almost lifted to the hole too. I have no bottom tapes... do you????? My lower openings, lay right on top of the gasket, just like yours and doesn't allow drainage except when you open. Hope this is end of this adventure.. Thanks for your help. Post your pictures Icebike for others.
