Rear Hatch Leaking

So my rear hatch leaks and i can't put my stereo in because of it and last winter on of my friends pulled up on my wing(trans am wrap around) and it pulled the rubber right out of the mounting bolt on the driver side adn dose anybody know of a quick fix for this. (I can't afford one as i would get a fiberglass from hawks i would prefer that)
Thanks

Re: Rear Hatch Leaking

That happened to mine also awhile back.I fixed it up by drilling a hole into the wing at the same spot and sliding another bolt(long enough to go through the hatch) into the wing and filling the hole with 3M Black weatherstripping adhesive p/n 08008 and it dried like concrete.You have to let it dry before you but the washer and nut on.I eventually did buy a Hawks Wrap Around Fiberglass Spoiler.

You need to get that bolt out of there soon, before it gets any rustier. Rusty bolts can be a real pain in the *** to get out.
