SUBJECT:
WATER LEAK AT REAR FENDER WELL
PURPOSE
This Technical Service Bulletin describes how to diagnose and correct a water leak which may be present on 1991 Eclipses produced before April 15,
1991.
DESCRIPTION
Figure 1
Some Eclipse customers may complain of a dampness in the luggage compartment and/or rear carpet areas of their vehicle. This condition may be caused
by a void in the body sealer near the left or right wheel well (Figure 1).
Figure 2
When present, this body sealer void may allow water to enter the vehicle at the strut tower, where it can run into the rear seat pan or luggage
compartment area (Figure 2).
If this condition occurs, it is necessary to locate the body sealer void and repair it using silicone sealer.
The remainder of this bulletin describes how to locate and correct the water leak.
CORRECTIVE PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the rear seat. (Refer to the 1991 Eclipse Service Manual, Volume 1, Page 52-31.)
