Water in of wagon where's da leak? 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be rouleur on  Fri Nov 22 02:39 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Good morning,

I'd like to figure out how water's getting into my "toolbox" i.e. area where the 3rd seat used to be on this '83 245DL.

Enough rust in these parts, want to keep tools klean.

When parked, after a rain, there's a cup or so of water pooled in this area. Water pools toward left (driver's) side, but this may be irrelevant to leak location as car is parked on a slope in this direction.

The gasket around the tailgate is what I suspect, it's of course original. Other cars I've had with hatchbacks have had troublesome leaks that I eventually traced to that source....

I suppose I could go out there w/ a garden hose and blast water around where the tailgate closes against body of kar, but would appreciate anyone's two cents.

Am grateful for experience of others gained from BB, saves time and frustration in troubleshooting.

Plus winter's here in O hi O....

Frank
