Not only you derailed that thread but you still doing it and being a troll.
Trouble reading plain English? Take classes.

Here's another warning for you:
-one more post not being on topic from you on this thread and you're on time out, and that's for starter.
Let me help you further... by ON TOPIC we mean posts related to the OP CLEANING his car, not how he got it or how you dislike the way moderators/staff run this Forum.

So the customer actually saw her car today, I had told her a while back I might buy it and try to restore it. She was like, "is that my car?" Yep, it was. I said to her, "you didn't tell me about the massive waterfall behind the glove box"

She goes, oh yea it does that, actually hey now that you have the car you should probably know the trunk leaks too and the car makes a funny sound from the rear when you get going fast.

So I'm going to find out today what about the trunk leaks.

Check the tail lights going through the tailight panel...
The studs securing the lights in place should have dumdum (spel?) on them.
Also, check the wiring grommets for proper sealing as well as the rear license plate light one.
Basically anything going through the tail lamp panel.
Check the trunk seal as well...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm betting the trunk seal or something because there is no water in the tail lights, which I'd expect condensation. Though I suppose it's possible to not have condensation and still be leaking through there.

I'm also wondering if I already fixed it. I went into the trunk yesterday to pull some tools out after all this rain and I didn't see a drop of water in it. I'm wondering if the excessive pile up of pine needles was creating a gap and not allowing the trunk to seal properly.

HAHAHAHA I bet that was the cause!

Excited, got it all back together, charging the battery now. Think I'm going to take it out of town today.

Got a quote on getting the seats repaired. Over $1,000 unfortunately. Going to see what less expensive ways there are.

Check out a salvage shop see what they have on-hand or can get.

Hey austin I am another troll dropping by with nothing to add, so that's why I chose the user name of "Dense"
