I made a video showing the condition of the seal and the holes I found in the sheet metal. Let me know what you think I should do. Stripping the paint, cutting out the sheet metal, and repainting the car are not currently options available to me.

So it turns out it’s not the gasket or seal, but rather some small holes in the metal in the trough at the bottom of the glass. I know there’s a proper way to fix this problem, but that involves way more time, money, and work than I want to do right now. I’m gonna look for a solution that...

After some cleaning, I can see that it’s not the window seal that’s bad, but rather some pin holes on the metal trough directly under the glass. I know there’s a proper way to fix this, but I’m not gonna do that at this juncture. I’m thinking some sort of caulking; something that will buy me 5...

I got the rear window trim removed today and found what appeared to be three or four small holes in what I think is the sheet metal. I’m gonna get it all cleaned up so I can tell what I’m looking at and then go from there.

If you can get the door card off as well as the vapor barrier it should become evident what the problem is. Might be tricky with door stuck closed though . . . I'd start with that if it were me.

Well, while working on my leaky rear window problem, I decided this is a perfect time to rejuvenate my package tray. I considered buying some hardboard or Masonite, and a jigsaw, and making a new one from scratch, but then I figured my original wasn’t so bad. It just had a few broken pieces, and...

I watched the “new features for 66” video on YouTube where they talk about the new design of the rear window seal. Looking at the diagram in the FSM I really don’t understand how it all is supposed to go together and work. The water is going under the seal and into the vehicle, pooling up on the...

So, after many months of speculation, I've now confirmed that my rear window leaks water into the trunk. What to do? I can see that someone, at sometime in the past, did some sort of repair to the seal, as some black rtv-like substance can be seen, but no other details are available. I'm...

If you haven't downloaded the PDF version of the factory service manual (FSM) from mymopar.com yet, you should do it when you get a chance. That will show you exactly what the rear suspension was supposed to look like, and how to adjust/repair it. Something I've learned here is that people are...

If it's always garaged and never exposed to rain, rubber would be more correct. I'm not sure that there is a correct "repop" of the '66 Chrysler mats - I've seen Dodge and Plymouth versions which have different "patterns." When I got my first '66 Newport, the rubber mat was in about 500 little...

I can't answer your question authoritatively, but I don't think coil-overs were original. Your car is beautiful! Wait for one of the "old guys with a hat" to answer - they are rarely wrong about anything related to C Bodies (I'm still learning).

I was gonna say, they not real available in the Pacific Northwest where I live. Cost me $150 out the door, and $30 to fix the bent rim.

Quarter windows now properly repaired and 100% functional! Last year I attempted to repair the broken quarter windows on my '66 Newport. I was somewhat successful in as much as they would go down, but they wouldn't always come back up due to some incorrect replacement parts. All of that has...

What type of clips were used to hold the package tray in place? Here is the underside of my original showing the clip retainers.

Ah, it was so crusty I couldn’t see them!

I can't believe they riveted the lens directly to that material (fiber board?) without so much as a steel washer or anything for backing . . .

Warning: Graphic Content. While making some adjustments to the drivers side mirror so that the wing window would not hit the mirror when opening it, I discovered the underside of the drivers door looks like a scene from “when blackheads attack.” I’m not sure how the top of the door would get...

Summer break has arrived so the first thing I’m doing is installing new cat whiskers on the front door windows.

Ok, I"ll read the FSM about tweaking the vent frame. There's a lot of play in the whole assembly. I can move the glass up and down about a half inch and the regulator parts go with it. Could be wear in the whole thing allowing it to sag.
