Hi all
Well the wing locker on my XL is now complete.. looks real nice but since I will not be able to hanger the bird when it rains, it got me to thinking how can I stop rain from going in the hinge (fwd edge)? The sides and back have a strip and I will put foam door seal for weather proofing, but how to stop the rain getting in from the front?? and as you know rain getting in will cause corrosion and green scotchbrite to grow.

Chris,
Don't forget to put drain holes in your baggage area same as all the
other places you can collect water. What matter if it takes
water that leaves thru a drain. Water will condense in your plane in
all the other blind spots. A 1/8" drain hole will alleviate this.

I use clear prop tape on the baggage locker hinge to keep the water out. I also installed a thin strip of foam weather seal on the bottom edges of the door (the stuff you use on your doors and windows to stop air leaks in your house). It's not absolutely water tight, but it helped considerably.

Also lets remember to keep the drain holes clean, dirt and pieces of insects can pevent the water to come out.
