water in trunk, repair it for 5 bucks!

According to this website they are not $22 but a total of around 8 without shipping or more likely 10 picked up at your local dealer per side. So with that said its like $20 for all four. This was for a 91 4dr by the way. Just to clarify you guys are talking about #4 and #17 right?

He was saying that you should be paying no where near $22.00 a peice for those gaskets.

Ultimately, I would stand with TypeG on this one. There is a right way to fix it and the wrong WAYS to fix it.

If you fix everything with ghetto glue and ducktape to save a couple $$, so you can fix everything else too, what are you left with?

A hacked up ghetto rigged ride that is a peice of crap.

I see these cars all the time.

Just an opinion...

I'd combine both. That is when getting new gaskets (or if you uncover gaskets that are still good in a pull it yourself yard) make sure they are sealed properly, don't you need gasket sealant for this? Also make sure the lights themselves are tightly mounted to the body.

i know it, but my cb7 dont cost me a lot of money.. and i preferred to put my spare cash on more important fix like brake and suspension piece... its a little tricks that do the job very well.. i dont want to get a show car.. i just want to dont get water in it!!! but your opinion is true, im thinkin in the same way. but when my trunk is closed, we didnt see the scellant anymore..and i want to add that I DONT USE DUCK TAPE ON MY CAR!!!! heheheh

for the price of the gasket i was thinking that will cost much more thant 22$... my friend had an dc4, and he paid 65$ for a set... that the principal reason why i put scellant... i didnt go to the nearest honda dealer to know hom much it's cost...

Yeah Nowkear, I don't know for certain and I'm not one to rag, but TypeG isn't rich I think, his car doesn't look that good b/c he paid a body shop to paint it and put all that clear and polish it. He did it all himself, and writes a lot of nice DIY stuff on here that helps everyone. Some peeps just have to have OEM from the dealer and the rest of us are happy with a ghetto rig from Lowes (like me, sometimes, lol )

I siliconed my gaskets, and even went further and did it all around where the taillights and the trunk meet. This is the only pic I have of it:



It's not really noticeable, since it's clear silicone. Doesn't look "hacked up". The price for all 4 gaskets is around $50 from majestic honda.

So it rained a lot today and surprise, my trunk leaked. Back to the drawing boards.... It looks like its that square black box under the power antenna thats leaking.

[Peezdoutgelo]

Im going to try this, thanks for the tip!

[Octavarium]

replacing the gaskets fixed about %90 of my leak. I also have to replace the main trunk seal.

[bravedude]

i tried this and it works fine. though a lot of guys here have show quality rides. my car is daily driver beater, i would go the new gasket route too.

Yup. I spent $2 at a craft store and a few minutes of my time. Haven't had any leaks since.

[zwells92]

I would get the gaskets from honda. My cb7 is worth more to me than slapping slicone on it, hell do it for resale. Just add another receipt to the stack.
