I've got a luggage rack on the trunk of my GTC. However, the seal that seals between it the trunk is coming apart. You have to buy that seal from the dealer with the rack but you can't even get the rack anymore.

Anyhow, I just bought a parts car with a trunk that doesn't have the rack and I'm curious which you guys would think looks better. I like the rack but it seems to be more of a pain than it's worth.

I am looking for gray interior trim for a J-body (1987-1989) LeBaron coupe hardtop. If you have anything please PM me before throwing it out. I am also selling tan trim if you're interested.

Yeah, I love the race to but that seal between the rack and the truck is a PITA. I doubt I can find one.

maybe find a spoiler that will fit that bend at trunks "drop off". It deffinetly needs something, but Im sure there is something better suited than a few strips of tacky aluminumnice cars btw.

I always like the understated style of that luggage rack. I bet if you check on an aftermarket kit for like a minivan luggage rack, or even a new replacement part for a minivan roof rack, you may find the type of seal you need. Cut to fit.

Does anyone even put luggage on those? I have a minivan with the rack and movable holders and I put all my crap inside. LOL
I like the rack look anyway.
