Hi Art,

I’m sure glad to see you are up to posting your wisdom.

The video was great as I don’t remember feeling for slop like that.
I Never thought of an O-ring put inside the groove.
That would also put more mechanical pressure in towards the grommet’s center and inner circumference of the body hole.


I got to thinking after doing my post on my leak that I may have worked on one of my cars before.
I think it was my 1986 wagon. That was a long long time ago.

I believe I just packed the lips of the seal with electrician duct seal.
It’s like a glob of modeling clay that Ace Hardware sells.
It might be Garner Bender brand. A one pound block is about $4.00. Lasts a long time for me in a jar.
How well it has been holding up in the wagon is questionable.
I will definitely give that some consideration when inspecting how it was supposed to work to seal out the water.

Priorities for sure!
I understand how it’s possible to buy or have some replacements parts and never put them in.
That’s what boxes and shelves are for.
If you didn’t get what you needed for Christmas, just tear in to an often neglected cabinet.

I have 18 Stanley cabinets I got them on a nice close sale at a Big Box Store. $50 each.
Luckily some are empty but I had big plans! (:)
I left 8 not assembled and still in their boxes.
NOS (New Old Stashed) (:)

Now they’re obsolete, no less.

Check out the information.
