Re: [Chrysler300] We're just fuming!

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had plenty of rain at the Lake George Meet and anybody who was there 
was offered the opportunity to grab a bar of soap and take a bath in my 
trunk. Several have suggested that's where the fumes are entering, and 
it makes sense. In a couple of months I'm going to climb in the trunk 
with a flashlight and have someone work a garden hose from bottom to top 
and see what's going on with that seal.

Bet that'll do 'er.

Thanks.
Keith
