This is the stuff that's advertised on TV to seal leaky gutters and things of that sort. It's rubber in a spray can.
I'm not one to look for a quick fix, but if it works as advertised then it sounds perfect for this job _________________ 1979 924 NA

that would probably work. Depends on the extent of your damage, small holes below the battery area, or the inner fender wall is rotted. _________________ '83 944 Track car.

I used spray rubber on top of the aluminum plate I riveted in. it worked well, and it's still sealed after e years.
I'm pretty sure the stuff they advertise on TV is regular spray rubber, but it carries a hefty price tag. _________________ proud owner of a 1979 924 Sebring Edition with a 931 trans that looks horrible but somehow runs... |

I had a small crack in the original metal that leaked severely. I used Rust-Oleum Leak Seal on it and its been fine for almost a year now. _________________ Jim Baldwin

I attempted this repair today using rustoleum leak seal. I don't think it will hold up, at least not the way I did it! I found out the hole was quite a bit larger than I thought so I grabbed a slice of gasket material, covered the hole and blasted leak seal all over the place. It was the best solution I had on hand.
Soon I will have to just cut it all out and weld a new tray in place _________________ 1979 924 NA

I use seam sealer, comes in a tub and paint on with a brush.
