Rear Compartment Lid - Water Leaks On An Incline
File In Section: 10 - Body
Bulletin No.: 53-10-32
Date: December, 1995
Subject:
Water Leaks at Rear Compartment Lid When Parked on an Incline (Add Sealer to Weatherstrip Carrier)
Models:
1993-96 Chevrolet Camaro
1993-96 Pontiac Firebird
Condition
Some vehicles may exhibit water leaks at the rear compartment lid. This condition is most likely to occur when the vehicle is parked on an incline during
a period of rain with the front end being lower than the rear of the vehicle.
Cause
This condition may be due to a collection of water in the rear compartment lid gutter. Water may collect in the gutter and find a path into the vehicle at
the flange mounted weatherstrip.
Correction
This condition may be improved by adding sealer to the weatherstrip carrier as shown in Figure 1. Using 3M # 08302, Dominion American Sure Seal #
LSC, Kent # 10500 (Canadian # 32135) or equivalent, add sealer to the weatherstrip carrier for approximately 253 mm (10 inches) in each direction
from the lower corner of the weatherstrip and reinstall the weatherstrip to the mounting flange.
