heya all,

after suffering some major rain in my area over the last couple weeks and being bust as heck at work, i finaly got out today to start reworking on the old magna

anyways opened the boot as part of the work im planning is fake wall boot install (subs go doof :nuts: ) and i noticed a crapload of water in my boot, now the car during this rain has been under my rear deck but water still seeks through but im just wondering is their any place in particular that the magnas are known for leaking, i bouight some new rubbers from clarkies the other day just havnt put them on yet but the current rubbers wearnt all that bad

any ideas,??? ty yet again

i had the same problem my whole spare typre compartment was full of water, got some new rubber and sellys silicon and sealed it all up, never had a problem again.

lol sound like mine, my tyre comp had just overflowed lol

ill get some sealant on tues because of stupid easter nothing is open tommorow and run that on the rubbers, might do the tailight seals while im there

Just a new thought.

my experience with cars in general is replacement rubber is crap to ok

Plenty of good seals at the wreckers cheap. They fit and work! with second gens.

Also my friend had a similar prob with a vs commodore wagon and it was the side windows leaking..
Had resealed by O'Brien glass for about $75 and never happened again.

If you have time i suggest you pull the trim and find the leak before going the hack with new seals.

going the hack??

never intended to mate, i have new boot seals ready to go on and i was talking about using sealant around the outsidesof them not cutting into them to fill them with sealant, and as for the tailights its nice and easy remove taillight, put thin layer of sealant over rubber seal, reinstall taillight, no hacking at it required,


or by going the hack you mean purchasing new seals ( that ive already done lol )?

as for the local wreckers around here, he is a overpriced moron with mostly year 2000+ cars and he crushs anything under that as it comes in basicly and thats as close to nice as i have to say about them at the moment:D

Yer fair call with the wreckers.

Going the hack i was referring to buying some of the generic rubbers as they don't seem to fit right for most cars and need cutting trimming etc..

Where did you get your seals and are they a good fit?

How Much?

Good luck.

got all 4 doors and the boot rubber for 50.00 all up from clark rubber in ballina, nsw ( next town over from me)

i got a pic around here somewhere from when i first bought the car, and it shows how bad the door seals are lol ill try to find and put up

Haven't been to clarks for awhile but i didn't realize they had this.

Love to see the pics and im sure i'll drop in to my local to check it out, im trying to work out a way to seal my new sub in floor in the wagon. Its ether fill a foam ,rubber etc.... i'll work it out. and yes i have no spare tire.

check out my new thread.

getting new batteries for the camera when we do the shopping this arvo, will post pics of old rubber up then
