[FWDLK] Crashes to crashes; rust to rust

[eastern sierra Adj Services <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxx>]

To answer Ron Water's question: I'd never had H.'s back-glass
stainless-molding removed, when he was previously painted (around1982--
he & I been AROUND the block!), so I was kinda surprised to see the
considerable "canyon", in the sheetmetal, behind the area where the back
glass rubber 'weatherstrip-molding' is installed--there sure doesn't
appear to be any reason for its design, complete with large
stainless-strip mounting holes (unless "they're"  there to ensure the
collection & leakage of water, into the trunk & parcel-shelf areas--thus
tending to
accelerate the necessity of buying another car!)

For SURE I'm going to (have the shop) seal-up those holes (and the
holes, next to the rear windows, where the thin, upper-fin moldings
'go'.

I mean, the rear window rubber molding could fit into a dedicated
'cavity', that would be 'sealed/filled' by the molding--I just don't
know why there is an adjacent cavity-area.

I know it's not Haloween, but I can probably send some pics of this
area, if anyone really wants to lose any sleep, after seeing this
design!-----it's about as bad as the "rust-farm"
that exists above the front fender 'eyebrows', or the infamous 1/4
panel/ rocker panel designs, OR the
"drain aperature" area/device, at the rear of the fenders! --oh, yeah;
almost forgot to mention the two swimming-pools (for 'hidden'
leakage-collection) on either side of the trunk floor. AND THEN, there's
the dog-leg door-leakage, if the rubber molding is not perfectly
installed, & the windshield/cowl leakage, and the window-seal
leakages..... & oh, man, how did ANY rainy-area car, (fuggedabout the
convies)  EVER  survive??

A cold rain's gonna fall!
