Re: [Chrysler300] Replace truck weather-stripping?

["Keith Boonstra kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Because Chrysler typically had such awful body panel fits, even if you install a new trunk gasket you may still find the trunk lid is not sealed. To make sure of it after your installation, take a tough new dollar bill or a piece of Tyvek house wrap and pull it through between the gasket and the trunk lid all the way around the perimeter. If you find gaps, you will need to find a way to "plump out" the gasket in those areas. You might even have to slip a short piece of bell wire behind the gasket if the gap is large. When you're done, the Tyvek should exhibit friction when pulling it out all the way around the lid.

Jim,

I agree with the others, if the weather strip is bad, replace it. But since I also have a 300H, I know that the leak could also be an old defective seal at your taillight bezels. That’s where mine leaked and mine were new seals. I had to adjust the bezels for a better seal. Since then, no leaks.

 

Happy Moparing,

Mark

Hi folks.  I have (I believe) a stupid question, but I’d like your opinion.  I have a survivor 1962 H, so most parts on it are 53 years old.  At my last car show last year, it rained, and it rained, and it rained all day.  When I got home, my trunk had an inch of water in it.

 

So my stupid question is:  Do I replace the trunk weather-stripping in a survivor car?  or just not drive it in the rain?

 

thanks

I agree with Bob.  I had the same problem with the G on a couple of occasions.  The front of the shoe locks against the drum until you wear down that layer of rust.

How old are your brake hoses ? Sounds like they are collapsing internally, causing fluid not to return to the master cylinder.

First nice day here in Dayton OH, so I fired up the 300F to get it out of winter storage.  Engine started up just fine, but the brakes didn't.  When I apply the brakes normally, they totally lock up.  Backing up,  by only a few inches, releases them, but normal stops again result in lock up. Before I tear into the brakes, any suggestions about I might be looking for?  Terry McTaggart
