ALSO, got an email from my friend in Reno with an '86 300E... his front end sits up the same height as mine... he didn't measure the rear yet, but his is within an 1/8" of mine, which leads me to believe the early 124's sat a little differently... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -o|||||o- fahrvergnugen y'all Snohomish, Washington - where Jeeps and VWs don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 TRSTGZS http://JohnMeister.com HTTP://WAGONEERS.COM http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Fri, 25 Nov 2011, Steve Morelen wrote: # # Hi John, # I've been in the throes of replacing the trunk gasket on my '87 300D for the past few days. I am dry-fitting the gasket now and have a favor to ask, if not too # much trouble. I have discovered some gasket features in both the old # and new gaskets and am wondering if they are alignment marks. [didn't notice them before I removed the old gasket from the car] There are # 2 hemispherical-shaped bumps on the inside exposed face of the gasket # and I'm wondering if they should be aligned with the notches that are # present in the inner metal lip of the U-shaped channel that the gasket seats in. Would it be too # much trouble for you to look at your installed gasket to see if the # bumps are aligned with the metal notches?
