Got a new hatch, have a question hey guys i got a TA hatch with high rise spoiler today and got rid of my formula hatch. i have a question. there is no weather stripping around the top of the hatch glass near the T-Tops. is this going to leak any rain? also, i am sure i just need to adjust it, but it seems like there is a lot of HUGE space gaps. also, i want to get it ready for painting but im a noob at body stuff. what grit sand paper would i use? the hatch is teal and my car is red. again, im sure i just need to re-adjust it cuz it is really tight on one side and a lot of space on the other. but yeah, i just wanted to know about the weather stripping. thanks! o and the hatch is from a LT1 body and i have an LS1 body. i didnt think it made a difference but just making sure.

Look at your old spoiler and see if it has weatherstipping where you say it's missing. If it is in fact missing, I couldn't tell you if it will leak or not. Try to use your old stripping. If you don't know what your doing, most body shops prefer you not to mess. If you sand too hard you could mess up the fiberglass. Good luck though.
