A couple years ago, my van was struck by a parked 70s bay window VW bus which had been struck by a passing car. <https://www.dropbox.com/s/oflgt0o802iffgq/IMG_1951.JPG> The body shop did a pretty good job replacing parts and getting things to fit again, but the rear hatch doesn't seal as tightly as it used to and I get a lot of dust coming in the back. The existing weatherstrip/gasketing is in good shape, I guess the issue is that the door no longer seals as tightly against the body as it used to. I'd like to figure out a way to improve the seal. Ideas? -- Jack "Rocket j Squirrel" Elliott 1984 Westfalia, auto trans, Bend, Ore. |
