I glued the bump stops to the top to seal the hole.

Filled the gap with packing foam and wrapped it over in gorilla tape. No leaks for me.

arent you guys ingenious!

i didnt do a damn thing on my car and no problems.

depending on how much movement the the top of the shock has, i could reduce the diameter of the thru-hole in the lower plate.. i think.. if anyone thinks it would be a good idea

also just thought of this, you could take the portion of the bump stop you cut off and shove it through the hole or put above the body on the inside taking up that space and staying flexible.



however like ive said before, this whole water issue has yet to be seen in real life. so try not to get too wound up about it.
