Guest Jim Piro Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Has anybody ever removed and replaced the trunk gasket?Are they still available?What kind of job?This is a showcar '89!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Note the splice at the rear center. Just pull the weatherstrip off gently with the fingers. Should come off in one piece. There is a sealant used on the metal flange to secure the weatherstrip.No, the trunk weatherstrip is no longer available. All stock have been exhausted.

Guest checkers Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I too have to replace my trunk gasket. I was one of those lucker ones who got a new gasket before they where gone. My question is that when you install the new gasket how do you fuse the splice, heat, chemical,glue? Not sure any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Guest Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 The new weatherstrip comes factory glued with a black substance where the splice is. It doesn't take much abuse for the splice to seperate. I would reglue with a black weatherstrip adhesive before mounting in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest checkers Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 Red Reatta Russ. Thank you for your help. The gasket joint had come apart, I was not sure on how to fuse the ends together. Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
