Water invasion...

So I popped my trunk, and noticed my coat was wet, Its been raining hard here last couple of weeks, so I removed everything from my trunk (thank god I dont have a system in there) and popped open the little cubby for the jack and what not and it was full of water, removed all that and unscrewed the cubby, and thank god that screw goes through the body cuz it acted as a drain hole... in process of drying it, hoping it was a fluke, after its dry, and it happens again... into the dealer it goes...

Just telling my story =)

Before that happens again, check the rubber lining for your trunk to see if there is any rippage or uneven lining.

Are you sure it was actually latched in the first place? I know I accedently pop the trunk open all the time by just having the stupid keys in my pocket.
