Where did you obtain those flat-wash o-rings of that diameter?
The O-rings are 5/16" inside diameter x 7/16" outside diameter x 1/16" (#011). I'll check this size as they look a bit bigger in the photo. |

Also, I used industrial-strength weather stripping (much better than the "EPDM Cellular Rubber Weatherstrip Tape"). My father works at an industrial site, and knew where to purchase the aforementioned stripping. This being said, I think it HAS to be the non-flatwash o-ring washers. |

Yea, I'm still leaking, and I think it's due to the o-rings I bought NOT being FLAT-WASH. I can find the correct diameter o-rings EVERYWHERE I shop, just not flat wash...

I just reread this post again and the washers are just plain O-rings and not flat washers. I missed emphasizing that they were just O-rings I did give the size though , #2-011 actually.
I’m going to look into punching a new gasket out of a sheet of rubber. Unless someone has already tried it and experienced a poor seal. I am also considering Plumbers putty at the base of the uprights, in conjunction with o rings. The putty conforms to every shape, stays plyable in all conditions. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated |

Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated I was going to use O-rings and a putty type of seal at the top surface of the body. I then thought that if anything leaked past the top seal it would be harder to dry so I just used the O-rings. |

The new seal should be fitted so that no pockets of water sit under the plate. Some people have used silicone sealant but if it leaks because they did not put enough sealant in the varying gaps it will be hard to remove the plate to fix the problem. |

Looks like my car is showing signs of leakage. After a heavy rain, I observed water accumulation between the hatch seal and the trunk inner plastic liner near the striker pin

Be sure to remove the trunk floor Styrofoam on the passenger side and inspect that area where water collects
It damages the PSE module and the security module |

Hope you caught it in time. I ended up needing to replace my security module. |

Re: SRT-6 Liftgate Leak On Spoiler Mounting Plate
Wow, Does that ever look familiar. Any cracks in the Wing at the top of the supports?
