Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / February 2005944 Water Leaks - Rear Hatch Pins
I get water leaking into the rear of my 1988 944S via the pins which secure the rear hatch. It is getting in under the rubber seal mounted on the hatch around the pin, and then between the rubber seal inside the opening the pin goes into and the body shell, and runs down into the spare wheel well. I am planning to replace the (seized) pins so that I can pull the hatch seal tighter to the body, and perhaps also to apply sealer to the seal inside the body to force the water to run down the drains under the catches. Anyone got any experience of curing this problem? Welcome to the 944 leak club. You can slow it down with some silicone oil spray and some silicone grease in the right places. I tried a cylinder of silicone sealant in a caulking gun and almost stopped it. It's the 924/944 leak club. I had the same problem, the body shop had the hatch sealed with windshield sealant...leak stopped!! It leaks around the around the upper hatch pins and then follows down the rear hatch metal, leaking into the saddlebags and around the rear carpet. I thought for a long time it was the drains for the sunroof. Mike >I get water leaking into the rear of my 1988 944S via the pins which secure > the rear hatch.

I seriously doubt that it's the pins - I'll bet you (place valuable item here) that you will find that the top of the hatch glass has debonded from the frame, the only real solution is to remove the glass from the frame and reglue - I've done it, not too bad a job but you must use the proper adhesives and primers, don't use silicone, it won't hold for long > I get water leaking into the rear of my 1988 944S via the pins which secure > the rear hatch.

I have observed the leak and seen it as I described in my original post. Please send Rolex by return! |
