Fern got some new hatch weatherstripping.

Her rear hatch wasn't sealing very well at all. It would rattle when she was at idle and rain kept getting in. I tried to adjust it, but wasn't able to find anything to adjust, nor was I able to find a new hatch seal.

I found some Duck brand "Auto and Marine Rubber Weatherstripping" at the Wally; it's EDPM rubber 9.5mm wide X 7.9mm high X 2.5m long and comes with two rolls per box. I had to use both rolls to do the sides and top. Now the hatch doesn't rattle at idle and it's supposed to rain tonight so we'll see how well it works.

Thanks...
