Jethro, I did do some work on the tail but I never pass up free
A seals everything tube might be handy to keep in the work shop for that moment when I need a sealer and do not have one.
Leak update:
since we have rain in the forecast for the next few days, and I do not want to get my nice new wood floor wet, I decided to get some work done on the car when I got home from work.
First I did some detailed examination of where I had issues. Next I decided where I might get away with using caulk and or caulk with backer rod ($4.19 for 5/8" x20'). I marked with red sharpy where I needed to do major work. The top has been annoying me since I built the tail. it never seems to want to say flat at the level of the car roof and sticks up 3/4". this forces water to build up at the joint causing minor leaks to turn in to big ones
I decided this area needed major work so I started there:
Old:
work in progress:
as I expected the foam was being pushed up by the hatch mounts, so when I made a wood piece to fit the hole I shaved down the back side over these spots to make to level.
ready for resin
the second coat I mixed in some sand to thicken the mix and help it fill in the low spot. this was my fist time mixing in anything to resin and it worked better then I hoped.
Done and silicone caulked:
I will have to wait to paint it, and there is rain for a few days so I think I can test it. I pray it will not leak, I sleep better dry
its not perfectly smooth but its better then it was and it should drain water.
