Hi Everyone,
Just got off the phone with TRF and it sounds like the seal gets
installed something like this:
|
__________ |
| ------ ||
<-- Left side of car || | seal |||
|| | ||| <--- Inside lip of tire compartment
|| / _____|--
||/ /
Rear of car body ______||\/
+-------------- Rear of spare tire compartment lid
^
|__ Lip on compartment lid
It may not be obvious but this is looking from above the car at a cross
section of the trough on the left side of the car.
Fred: Is this more like what you had in mind?
