KEY POINTS:
WATER INGRESS INTO TRUNK VIA LOCK BARREL
FIG. 1
To prevent water from entering the trunk via the trunk lock barrel on 1990 MY Sedan Range vehicles, a revised trunk lock finisher base has been
introduced beginning with VIN 616664. The revised base incorporates water drainage channels on the lower edge, (Fig. 1).
FIG. 2
If trunk water ingress occurs on pre-vin 616664 vehicles, the following procedure should be used to allow water to drain from the trunk base finisher:
^
Open the trunk lid and remove the chrome base finisher and the rubber mounting gasket.
^
Place the rubber gasket on a block of wood and place the block on a work bench.
^
From the gasket center, measure 50 mm in each direction along the bottom edge of the gasket. Using a 5 mm hole punch, cut out holes at the
2 x 50 mm measured positions on the gasket, (Fig. 2).
^
Install the base and gasket onto the trunk lid.
