I posted this on the RX7 forums, but no response. I am coming to the realization that everyone on there is cranky people they drive 7's.

Back story:

Driving the car (http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=839968#) and opened the window to get some fresh air and I get a large wiff of gas. So I have been tracking it down from the engine back. Turns out to be coming from the trunk. Where the wires enter the top cover, there seems to be seepage up the wires. Suggestions? Do i just remove is and try and putting some waterproofing on it?

Sorry for the crappy pictures. My camera got stolen out of my work truck (http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=839968#) with other stuff. BTW, don't go to Greenspoint, TX outside of Houston. I was 1 of 5 truck broken into over night at our hotel and telling stories to people that live around there, that is not uncommon. When we told the front desk, their response: "Oh, that hasn't happen for about 6 months."

maybe you can get another grommet or use some brake cleaner then air dry it off and find some kind of stuff that will harden and stop it. jb weld or somthing similar.

Get a new cover and grommet from a parted out car on the RX7 club.
