LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Before attempting to correct luggage compart-
ment leaks, carefully determine the real source
of the leak. As it was explained in the previous
paragraphs, water on the upper portion of the
wheel housing may be coming in because of a
leak at the lower moulding of the rear window.
A leak inside the luggage compartment between
the outer wheel housing and quarter panel may
originate at the corner of the rear quarter win-
dow. CAUTION: Do not confuse condensation
on metal parts with water leaks. When the actual
source of the leaks has been traced to the lug-
gage compartment
itself,
correct as follows:
Be sure to obtain proper fit and alignment
of the luggage conipartment lid before trying
to correct the leak at the lid weatherstrip. In-
spect the luggage compartment lid drain trough
and weatherstrip retainer joints for rough and
porous welds. Seal with body caulking putty or
body sealer as required (Fig. 136). Brush a con-
tinuous coating of weatherstrip cement around
entire weatherstrip trough. Install the deck lid
weatherstrip into the retainer. Be sure weather-
strip retaining lips are engaged in the retainer
trough. Be sure to obtain a good fit and com-
pression of the lid weatherstrip. Adjust deck lid
if necessary to obtain proper compression. Test
with the use of trace powder and testing bulb.
Leaks at the deck lid weatherstrip retainer
trough joints on Chrysler bodies can best be
sealed by loosening the weatherstrip at the
joint and applying sealer to the entire seam
at the inside of the trough and then recement
