760 headliner replacement... what is this? 700

Hello folks,

I found 3" of water in the 88 760 after a healthy rain this week. It seems that the rear roof drains were plugged with the styrofoam gasket from the sunroof pan. As I was removing the headliner for replacement, I found what appears to be a vacuum line coming up from the passenger door center post and going somewhere in the overhead. I could not find anytype of connectiopn for it.

Does someone know what it might be?

Thanks,

john r. is correct. Do you want my headliner and sunrrof file, or did I already send it to you?

Hi John,

You sent me that file sometime back. I had forgotten. Much thanks though!

john r. makes sense, and I looked at the light to see if there was a connection of sorts. It looks like it was just taped up. THe end was plugged with so much goo that it could not have been working.

Thanks to everyone!

I have never had the dome light off an '88 760, but maybe the vacuum hose connects to the air temperature sensor located in the lamp assembly? The vacuum draws air across the sensor so it reads the cabin's temperature. John R.

There is nothing wrong with getting older except for:

Needing reading glasses to work on the car.
Making sure a bathroom is close to the garage.
Having to suck in the gut or jack the car higher.
Not being able to get up after lying flat on your back.
Needing a breaker bar to get the lug nuts off.
Getting stuck under the steering wheel when checking relays.

Think of the bright side:

Dumb teanagers stuck behind you in a no passing zone.
