First thing to do is verify the source and cause of leakage, then decide what to do about it. ----might not be weatherstrip that's the problem.

Hi folks. I have (I believe) a stupid question, but Iâ€™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
