Silverado weatherstrip leaking?

This is probably why. Went to Haulover and heard all kinds of noise, but it was centered around a new truck that had been parked in the all but empty parking lot. While they were out in the boat, the buzzards had their way with the weatherstripping. Never seen this before.

    I have heard of that happening before but never seen pics. That sucks as it looks like they did quite a bit of damage

    holy c r a p..... I had the same thing happen at work (CCAFS)..... that's funny stuff.
    btw, the fire dept. here at the Cape got approval from the powers above (AF) to try to get rid of these buzzards near the skid strip.
    They shot two of them and hung them upside down on tall stakes, the buzzards disappeared for 6 plus months. that's how long it took for the carcass to degrade.
    yes, the rubber seal needs replacing and it leaks pretty bad (04 Silverado)

    There was a news story a few years ago about buzzards doing that to campers in Polk co I think. Crazy stuff right there.

    they have gotten so bad here in the park that they now provide tarps to cover the vehicles. They can make a mess of your truck!

    The rich and entitled wanted the PD I worked for to shoot them after they decided to roost on the roof of their up-end Condo....They were mighty upset when they found they were protected.
    Gov can get waivers for safety concerns...Airports etc...

    Years ago, when I was working outside for a living, we used a product called Vinyl Bond B. It was a rubber coating we used on flat roofs applied with an airless sprayer. We would spray one day, and the next, it would be full of holes where they ate it Didn't seem to bother 'em. After they realized we'd be there for awhile, once the airless fired up, they would come.

    Nope, a registered Republican since I came of age to vote...and that was a while back.

    Try to not be so sensitive...I was not talking about you...these people *really are* Rich.

    And not much envy...I got to haul enough suicides out of there to know..Money does not buy happiness.

    My wife, who works with many wealthy, rich and famous people defines "rich" as owning the jet. Wealthy charter it.

    It buys choices. Choices beat no choice. I must say, I was much happier when I had money. :grin

    I like that one....:grin

    Met a couple Billionairs...oddly, they were very nice (most people are very nice when they think you are standing between them and the grim reaper) ...
    totally unlike the " newly rich "..or the grandkids who got rich on Grampa's sweat...Believe me...you can tell easily!
