[DML] Re: Leaking Seals...or something else?

["Patrick C." <PRC1216@xxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't advise siliconing a piece of rubber over the hole(s) behind
the speaker panel(s).  Sure it will work, but I used fiberglass on
mine instead.  I went to NAPA, picked up a fiberglass repair kit, and
covered the holes, then painted them black (I wanted it to look stock,
even though no one will see the repair).  In my mind, I think that
fiberglassing over them is going to be a more permanent repair than
gluing a piece of rubber over it, but I'm sure both do their job.

This was a pesky leak, and would soak the carpet in the storage
compartment, but I could only see just how much water was back there
when I removed the storage compartment carpet.  Covering the holes
also eliminated quite a bit of wind noise I could hear while driving.

Good luck,
