Now the vent clicks into the dash, and stays in.

One more thing I noticed while sitting in the car: the clock is still going, but has lost about 30 minutes over 2 weeks.

The last thing I did today was move the trunk lid from my hall closet to the garage. I think that was the last 914 part I had inside my house. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

re: clock losing time - have you been disconnecting/reconnecting the battery in short bursts over that time?

QUOTE(FlacaProductions @ Jun 8 2022, 11:09 AM)  re: clock losing time - have you been disconnecting/reconnecting the battery in short bursts over that time? No, that's why I noted the slow running. The car has been connected to battery non-stop for at least 2 weeks (andmostly on a charger). I just reset the clock and will check it tomorrow. |

I got out the hardware for the trunk lid, including my rebuilt upper latch.

Then I use a tap to clean the holes for the hinges.

Working on the trunk lid reminded me that I have not yet dealt with the gap between the outer skin and the inner frame. Way back when I repaired some rust I dug out all the original foam. But now the frame provides little support to the skin.

I do have 3M pillar-filling foam, but not sure about using this--or anything else.

I decided to fill the trunk lid frame cavity with the 3M foam, at least around the center-rear near the latch.
But first, I found some leftover Eastwood cavity sealer. Attached thumbnail(s)

I shot this into the rear cavity, and tilted the lid left and right. My hope is this will seep into the crimped edge and delay any rust.

While that was drying, I played with the 3M expanding foam. At some point I guess I bought an official 3M gun.

Here's an initial squirt of foam juice. It comes out of the mixing nozzle very liquid with just a few bubbles. This dot is about the size of a quarter.

After about a minute it doubled in size.

After about 10 minutes it was this big, and stiff. 3M claims a 10x expansion.

I shot about 1/3 of the tubes into the rear cavity. Looks like that was enough to fill it. I will have to carve a cavity for the latch plate nut.
Anyway, my hope is to make the trunk lid more rigid above the latch, since this is where I will push on the lid to close it. Attached thumbnail(s)

One more thing, also with some left-overs, in this case some 3M seam sealer.

I used this to "glue" the frame to the skin, especially where the gap was open--up to almost 3/16" in places. Once this cures I will clean it up, and maybe do a quick paint touch-up.
Yeah, this should have all been done before painting, but better late than never, right? Attached thumbnail(s)
