Rear trunk lid gasket

yes,will keep alot of the exhaust from the trunk. mine did not have when i got my car and did not want to put anything back there, the seal made a big difference.

 

Does it go across the entire rear lip -- is it placed so that it is compressed by the two hard lid bump stops when you shut the trunk or is it's length between the two bump stops.

 

runs full width of trunk. my car does not have the bump stops, it's a 73 gts.

 

Can anyone post a pic of this seal or advise where (or even if) it can be bought from?

 

Here is shots of the rubber seal I bought from Dennis M about five years ago. It is the last piece I need to install to finish my GT.

It would be great if Matthias could chime in on this one regarding whether the rubber seal was standard and if so, for all years or just specific ones. My 71 Euro does not have this upper seal, nor any sign that one ever existed. My Dino, however, does have the rubber stops on the body. It would seem that the rubber seal on the body is intended to seal against the trunk lid when closed...seems uncharacteristic to have one rubber seal mating with another rubber seal.

No. 23, below, Upper trunk seal (The piece is shown upside-down in the schematic; see Mark's pictures, above, for clarification.).
On my Tipo E, it goes across the back of the trunk lid and stops just short of either edge of the lid so as to be tangent to the side trunk seals (No. 8) while compressing against the vinyl edge seal (No. 16) when the lid is closed. It is glued just forward of the 'bumpers' (No. 15), so doesn't touch 'em.

Interesting - never knew there was a seal there - my SERIES M (01296) GT does not have that ...

Hmmm,
You've a good point, Mark. I'll go out in the morning and measure exact placement & take a couple of pics to compare. My bumpers are not installed, but the holes are there, for reference.
The plot thickens.

Coop,

Thank you for the detailed pic and supply source. Does the seal help to lessen the problem of exhaust fumes in the trunk?

 

Im pretty sure there is no seal on the boot lid.

 

Only 206 GT and L-series have a seal on the boot lid.
M- and E-series only have foam corner in the edges of the boot lid.
Regards Matthias

 

Thanks Matthias--

That would explain why it is not obvious how this seal is glued on the lid so that it will contact the pinch point.

The strange thing is that I am sure I bought the seal five years ago because I thought I had one on the trunk lid that was in tatters when I striped it down ---but it has been many years back so perhaps I bought the seal because I saw it in my old parts manual.

 

As I suspected, Matthias would be able to clear this up before every M-series and E-series owner rushed out to buy up all inventory of this rubber seal.

So this begs the question, exactly what is this "foam corner in the edges of the boot lid"? My trunk lid has no rubber/foam anywhere on it...all seals are along the edges of the trunk itself (4 pieces, one along each edge). Pictures anyone?

 

Ron, they look like this one (self reproduction)
They close the gap between rubber seal and trunk lid.

I remember seeing that wedge shaped seal somewhere online and couldn't figure out where it would go. Problem is, now I can't recall where I saw it!

 

approx. as thick as the rubber seal

 

well spotted ;-)
it still sucks in exhaust smoke....
