Hello everyone,
Since the return of warmer temperatures we have had quite a bit of rain locally, and after leaving the car outdoors while at work, I found that significant amounts of water would pour out of the trunk hatch when opened, but not from expected places...
- From both round rubber stoppers near the edges of the hatch.
- More concerning to me, from both handles in the plastic molding, especially from the one with the button to close the trunk.
I had my local SC look at the issue last week when my car went in for the battery shield, and I was told they had "sealed some hinges" as per a TSB. It did not, however, seem to do anything. Yesterday I opened the hatch and it looked like I had opened a faucet under the trunk closure button, and some water often comes out on a few subsequent openings.
I have not seen any evidence of water ingress elsewhere in the vehicle.
Aside from a defective pin in the charge port, this has been the only issue that I would consider more that a trivial annoyance after 13 months of grinning / ownership.
I will try to get some video of this when it rains this weekend, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar problem, and if so how it was resolved.
Cheers.
