I ripped out every interior piece of my trunk as I found water on both sides this week...

This last week has been a challenge. It's been raining pretty often and hard here in North FL.... until today - been nice and dry. Cleaned up and water tested both corners of the rear window and quarter rear windows... nothin'.... dry as a bone and no water intrusion.

The two fabric stickers covering the holes on each side closest to the tire were suspect. But the pooling was still happening even when the car sat during the rain and I put some electrical tape over the holes and made sure the tape adhered around them. So there's that... going to see if I can find some rubber plugs soon.

Not that I can recreate the leak on my own.... and i'm just not sure about the passenger side of the trunk, but during those rain bouts on the driver side have noticed where were water is dripping below the trunks drain channel hitting the inner fender... so i'm thinking third brake light... and i'm not ready to pull that. I guess I should contact the dealer about a replacement.

I just don't know.

I would get water pooling on the passenger side under the sub all the time. A dealer I took it to wanted to just drill a hole to drain it :crazy:. Never figured out where the water was coming from before I sold it.

Try 2 at the sound tube delete. Finished in less than 5 min after deciding to ignore the nut on the firewall. If anyone is thinking about it just pull and twist, comes right out.

Got my euros installed, thanks to @Mikepol2. Thinking about getting some tint for them, but definitely up in the air.

Got the windows tinted with 3M ceramic IR and went for a drive. Found a garage to take some pictures.

Got my new wheels on today, slight issue though. the lug nuts work from my old wheels, I want them on it. but the sockets! will not fit into the hole to tighten them down. I have a 19mm thin wall socket, its like the same size as the hole, so damn close. but no cigar.

is there an awesome ultra ultra thin walled 19 or 3/4 socket? I dont know which is bigger or smaller, but both those sizes fit this lgunut.

IMO, your new wheels not only look great, but the body color plus the chrome window trim really pops now. Black rims are nice, but when looking at your before and after pics - you can see how you black rims and brake rotors were “lost” within the wheel wells.

Great choice of rims!

(Did you add the window chrome or did it come factory in yours?)
