Since where I live there was recently a snow storm and lots of rain before that, i noticed a noise inside my wing when i opened my trunk!! Soon i found out that it was water inside my wing!? How the hell did this happen!? Is it just me or did this ever happen to any of you out there? How can i fix water from going in again??

i had this happen as well, but probably not the same wing. i called the people who sold it to me and they said it would be fine. it would take a few days to evaporate. he was right and it went away in a few days. i would say dont worry.

as for h2o in the spare tire area, are you sure that it's sealed well w/ silicone around the bolts? If it's not sealed, water will get in there, and that's the only place it will get in.

My problem with water is that the sunroof drain tube came out of the bulkhead. Easy fix, difficult to clean up.

water will be getting into your wing and then transfreing into your trunk. You need to silicone your wing bolts good and then it won't go into your trunk. and water sitting in the bottom of your trunk isn't good either, water and oxygen cause rust.......eventually sitting there for a long time will create a rust spot.
