Should there be a rubber sleeve on there? > Do you think this is what's causing the problem when the car gets wet? Being wet is seldom a problem, but the corrosion that this can cause in the long term can be. Don't worry about the missing boot, and DON'T try to tape up the joint as that will only hold water in. I would pull the white connector out and pack some good grease in there and just push it back together. The grease will prevent corrosion and exclude water somewhat. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
