So for those that have changed their rear trunk rubber seal what type did you use and where did you buy it from? Did you use a generic brand for all cars or one made for Torinos?
Thanks in advance. |

Cool, if you don't mind giving an update on how it fits once you install I would appreciate it.

i'd have to look through my receipts, but sounds like what i used, mine fit great but the new one didn't have the tiny air vent holes around it so i took a nail clamped in a pair of visegrips heated the tip up with a torch and formed the neat vent holes along the inner edge about every foot and a half to allow the air to escape when you close the trunk

John, your post just made me realize why my F100 doors were so difficult to shut after installing the new gaskets. No holes like the originals. Sheesh.

wouldn't the air just blow out the ends of the seals though?

not if they are sealed or even mostly sealed, and could be the fact of the air having to travel all the way to the end--- volume VS displacement
