Ah, excellent observation! I was thinking body shop! I did notice the redundancy of the body-mounted third brake light, but didn't put that together. But that trunk latch losing its bolts makes me think that they worked on more back there, than just putting the spoiler on. I was under the impression that the Scotchlocks were on the trunk light circuit, for an aftermarket alarm.

I have a mint 1988 Fiero GT which develop a trunk water leak since a couple o' years. Coiuld'nt find it by the usual method with the full blast of the air fan (obviously with a mid-engine car).🙄 I'll try it Sunday morning. Thanks Wes !

I echo about your GREAT approach to tasks. You just seem to be very casual when complex situations arise (but not always; HaHa.) It has made an impression on me such that when I'm faced with what could be frustrating I need to slow down, step back, take a breath, then approach in measured steps: A, B, C..... You'll never know just how important this has been to me! thx

That's a great example of lateral think Wes, always difficult to see in side a sealed boot for whether the light is on, or not on. Max certainly takes an interest in cars with uninvited guests. Thanks for sharing.
