Rubber and Vaseline..............not what you think
Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 9:42 am
Hiya All,
I have a leaky rear vent window. A problem with the seal fitting properly against the chrome of the window, I think. Working on another car requires me to place the Duck outside in the driveway and it's been a bit rainy here in the PNW.
To prevent the leak until I have time to actually fix it, I came up with the idea of jamming some vaseline in the seal. I then closed the vent window and latched it. Seems to work pretty well.
But I'm wondering............will that vaseline turn the seal into a mass of lumpy goo if I leave it on for a few weeks?
