Ok, this is weird question, but with all the knowledge on this site, I am hoping someone can answer this question.

Does anyone know what type of rubber Honda uses for the gasket that sits between the trunk-lid and the rear spooler?

If not, does anyone have any suggestions on what type of rubber I should get to make these gaskets?

Btw, I don't need this particular gasket, I am installing a different spooler and need to make a larger gasket for the application.

Thanks

 

can't you just use double-sided tape?

Yes, but I think he is asking for the gaskets for a waterproofing purpose. Maybe?

OP, I don't know if this helps but I found the part online. I tried to link a site but it won't work. Maybe you could call Honda with the part number and ask them? This is the best I could do with my research.

There were three part numbers (one for each seal; left, center and right)

left seal 71712-SVB-A00
center seal 71713-SVB-A00
right seal 71711-SVB-A00

*All of these part numbers are for a 2007 FG2*

 

i've used 3m double sided tape to put emblems on, it's made out of rubber. i'm pretty sure it's waterproof. i got it from schuck's.

 

I've used it before helping someone install a bodykit. I didn't examine the package too much, but I'm not sure it's completely waterproof, although I could be wrong. I know that water won't break it down, but I'm not sure if it will prevent the water from leaking into the trunk.

 

Thanks for all the responses.

Yes, I want a gasket between the spooler and trunk-lid for water proofing and vibration.

Factory gasket will not work, the spooler I am putting on is the JDM-R Style Spooler. It has a larger foot print on the trunk-lid.

I did a little more research and found a couple materials that will work, but I think I am just going to try using 1/16 inch Neopreme rubber.

Btw, if any of you buy this spooler, expect to spend a lot of time filling and sanding the thing. The product from the factory is not the best out of the box.
