can a kind person post an open trunk pic
Permalink  

hello  all   can  somebody   here post  a 1967   Beau or chevelle  open  trunk  pic to allow me to  see how  the weather strip  is set  allong  the  edges

i am intrigued  by  the chanel  beeing  irregular  in the corner and  the weather stipping    does not  insert as nicely  as the rest of the chanel in these places 

makes me wounder if  i am missing  a part on my car  ??

i also would like to know  where does the   weatherstrip  joint  goes originaly

i figure it would be  at the top of the opening in the middle.

thank you  all

with the flat area of the weatherstrip at the bottom & look at the end profile. You will see that the top of the weather strip will taper to one side. This taper should always face away from the trunk opening. The 2 ends wil always meet at the centre bottom of the trunk opening. Any where else and you will most likely have a leak

No, I think that's actually Dave's car that he sold last year, 283 glide. Very nice solid original car.

IT'S HARD TO SAY FOR SURE, BUT FROM THE PICTURES ABOVE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE WEATHERSTRIP MEETS AT THE BOTTOM TO THE LEFT OF THE CENTER POINT.

I was wondering the same on Dave's car, looks like 12" off to the left... I'm quite sure mine was centered on bottom originally, that's how i reinstalled my new one...

'Since 1983' can you post a picture of what you are saying has dent's in it? I don't remember any particular dents in the channel on my car, I'll have to look later when i'm at home...

I see what you are referring to, i went out the garage and looked in my trunk. The 'roundish' dents towards the end of the straight run of the channel on the sides of the trunk are either a crimp or spot weld of some sort where the factory tucked in the two corner peices that make the turn, the ones that have the tabs folded over to hold the weather stripping. Looks like its pretty standard on the cars, no trim is missing, its a little crude, but that's how it came from the factory imo.
