Water Leak Found - Duh! 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Philip Pan on  Mon Dec 4 07:11 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I had been getting rainwater inside my 245's tailgate after each good storm, and was at my wit's end to find the leak. All the seals around the glass, the handle, the hinges are good. . . the hinges! The PO replaced the tailgate wires and routed them from under the headliner rather than through the hinges. The water must be entering through those vacated channels. So, if you have done this same wiring upgrade, (this routing prevents them from breaking quickly due to excessive flexing), then be sure to plug the channels in both the roof and hatch-mounted hinges.
