[Chrysler300] Replace truck weather-stripping?

["'Jim Maiani' jmaiani@xxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks.  I have (I believe) a stupid question, but I’d like your opinion.  I have a survivor 1962 H, so most parts on it are 53 years old.  At my last car show last year, it rained, and it rained, and it rained all day.  When I got home, my trunk had an inch of water in it.

 

So my stupid question is:  Do I replace the trunk weather-stripping in a survivor car?  or just not drive it in the rain?

 

thanks

I agree with Bob.  I had the same problem with the G on a couple of occasions.  The front of the shoe locks against the drum until you wear down that layer of rust.

How old are your brake hoses ? Sounds like they are collapsing internally, causing fluid not to return to the master cylinder.

First nice day here in Dayton OH, so I fired up the 300F to get it out of winter storage.  Engine started up just fine, but the brakes didn't.  When I apply the brakes normally, they totally lock up.  Backing up,  by only a few inches, releases them, but normal stops again result in lock up. Before I tear into the brakes, any suggestions about I might be looking for?  Terry McTaggart
