DONT LET THIS THREAD DIE!!! How to fix hatch leaks/rattle: Rip off the old seal (comes off easy enough with a bit of a tug) Drive down to Clarke rubber with the old seal, in the Supra. Take a sample piece inside and say you want a similar but bigger verison of the same thing. Take a sample outside and make sure it fits on the old rail. Make sure its a tight fit, you dont want it pulling off everytime you open the hatch! Buy around 4m or so of it (test the length cos you dont want joints in it). Should only be around $40 Start in the middle of the bottom, press it down around the rail around the opening until your back to the start Cut it off with some decent tin snips (its reasonably hard to cut due the steel inner reinforcement). Make sure you cut it so it will line up nicely, the better the matched ends, the better the seal will be. The seal you bought should have a hollow tube right though it. Get a bit of rubber tube the same diameter, around 2" long. Insert half into one end and clip it back down onto the rail. Test fit the other end of the seal and try shutting the hatch. Its will probably need a bit more force than it did before due to the higher seal profile. Pull it apart again, make sure the little tube is still inside one end of the seal. Now comes the tricky/messy bit. Wipe some black Sikaflex (very good quality silicon glue from Clarkes or Bunnings; used for expansion joints in brickwork) onto the end of the seal without the tube. Use a reasonable amount, you can wide off a bit of excess but its a PITA to put more on once its fixed. Push the start of the little tube into the other end of the seal. Clip down the seal as you jamb it up against the fixed end so the tube goes right into the hollow seal and the sikaflex makes a good airtight seal. Leave it over night in the garage, you need to leave the hatch open so make sure youve got somewhere secure to leave the car. (Read the instructions and make sure it has dried COMPLETELY before you shut the hatch.) Done! (Let me know how you go) [Report message to a moderator]
