Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have searched for this both here and on Renntech. I'm not good at searching. Looking for some tips on how to replace the rubber "bellows" seal on the rear deck lid. It looks like an accordion section when the spoiler is up. What's this piece called anyway? This is for a '99 C4. Thanks. ....Rickker
