Don't do this:
Somewhere along the line a PO glued the seal onto the body and the taillight housing (out of frustration, I guess, because the pass side wasn't glued, doesn't leak and the drivers side was still leaking)
I have to clean up this mess and then I still have to fix the leak.
Vintage cars, baby!

E21's were the same.
I had to replace the tail light seals and trunk seal in order to get my E21 dry after a wash.
Question for the early BMW guys, I am considering a 123 Dizzy for my M10 engine, my Points / condenser dizzy is making me mad and I am happy spending sub $500 to make that issue go away. Hard cold starts being the biggest issue.
Thoughts?
