JOB COMPLETED , CHECK OUT PIX [ MODIFIED GTO ACTUATOR , DAYTONA HEADLIGHT DOOR]

[daytonalo]

 Take it easy !!! just trying see if it was your dumb luck or installer error ! If the seal on the rod becomes dislodged it will leak , I always glue them in place . I always thought all the shit we buy for our junkers comes from China   SOMEBODY NEEDS A HUG !!!!

What's the best stuff to use to glue them? Black silicone?

[daytonalo]

I used black 3M weather strip adhesive . The problem I had was in operation the rod is not straght up and down , it is on various angles and COULD pull seal out of groove .

That seal will leak if not in groove when rod is extended. Used them for many years without issue  . For the record only use these with dust boot removed ,  shown below is the dust boot  not needed in Daytona application . The second photo is how it should look with dust boot removed . Yes it will leak like a sieve if this seal becomes dislodged  .Also note how much is cut off to operate with Stinger nose , others nose cones will also require shorting of rod
