Just sent MIL home with a nice clean car and all serviced. She put 4,000 miles on it in a year so didn't need much.
Thunder rolling through heading Franks way so hang on Frank.
Time to back read some.

Sounds like my Cadillac ( Pre Viet Family) 08 DTS had 96K on it when I got it 5 years ago. Still only has 115K , but beginning to climb fast.... :lol:

MIL Subaru is at 48,000 Think it's a 2017. She is starting to smash it up. Backed out of her garage and forgot to shut the car door. :BangHead:

Stopped by the garage this morning to do some investigation.
Looks to me like the damage is because the rubber connection isn't strong enough. The oil and ATF may not have helped but the interior is dry (not gooey). Gooey and slimy are technical terms - yes?

In this floppy disk camara photo you can see an original from 1988. It's deteriated but didn't rip through. Hmmmm.

My new opinion is the replacement insulator needs to be reinforced.
May try filling with Devcon Flexane 80.
There's a review on 'zon for Flexane 93 where the guy used it for motor mounts.
 
What's a workaround substitute for the foam firewall gaskets?

Thinking of going to find some craft foam... but don't want that if the stuff like I have from DMT is somehow moisture resistant?
The styrafoam ones? I've used - wait for it - thin styrafoam sheets from packing.

The foam plate you get under your steaks from grocery store? Or is it like us and some sort of cardboard.
Body shop guy gives me this foam with plastic sheet on one side. Windshield or body parts are wrapped with it.
