Re: {Chrysler 300} Re: Black insulation on underside of 300F trunk?

Keith,

It's a roofing tar paper - not sure on the technical name. It's about 1/16" thick, and I've added it to my trunk to replace the deteriorated remnants that previously were there. It's pretty near impossible to slide this all the way under the support bars. I made templates and cut out the pieces a bit oversized, then trimmed as needed to fit. Finally, glued to the underside of the trunk lid.

I used weatherstrip adhesive, which needs to be tweaked every so often. Perhaps someone can recommend a more permanent adhesive product?

Speaking of the F trunk: there was a recent exchange on the suggested material to go between the support bars on the underside of the F trunk lid (which I am having trouble locating.) I think it was something along the lines of black construction paper sheathing (aka “tar paper”?)

Could someone please chime in as to what would be suitable that will slide under the bars. I think someone even mentioned the suggested thickness.

Thanks in advance!

Keith

Carl, Keith and Friends,

I guess this makes sense - that there shouldn't be a "pie-tin" cover on the spare for the F.

I did purchase one of these covers a few years ago, and have it on my F, I also added the thin rubber edging, sold by Gary Goers (his part #W106), but shortly thereafter was advised by other Club members that the edging was used only on DeSotos, so I removed it.

A few months ago I purchased the correct spare tire mounting fastener that Dave Schwandt had for sale. I installed this fastener in my trunk, but found that it did not extend tall enough, to also secure this "pie-tin" cover. Now, hearing that this cover doesn't belong in my trunk makes sense!

G trunk page is here: Chrysler 300 Club Internaltional 300G Trunk

We were not able to create an F trunk page because no one could supply photos of a totally original unrestored F trunk, which was the requirement for the page.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Spare tire cover on 300F?

Folks

I went to the tech section and there’s no pix that I can find of an F (or G) trunk . Does anyone know if the F had a “pie-tin” cover on the spare when new? We’re up at camp so I can’t readily access any of the old road tests (I.e. Ray Brock’s Hot Rod or Uncle Tom McCahill’s MI tests.) to see if there’s a shot of the trunk.

Thanks,

Keith
