Water Pooling in Bottom Trunk Compartment

[ngogas]

Just checked mine as I left the gym. Dry...

The service guy thinks it might have happened pre-delivery, which is a good thing. No need to worry for the rest of the folks, but also a need to worry about leaving your trunk open in the rain. I will be buying an All-weather mat ASAP. Any recommendations?

The "official" ones are here: Model 3 All-Weather Cargo Mats

Should be noted that Weathertech makes the "official" Model 3 trunk (and frunk?) mat. I know this because the box mine arrived in had Weathertech-related shipping labels. The official one comes with Model 3 badging whereas if you buy from Weathertech it will have the WT logo. I'm not sure if there is a price difference.

Haven't yet gotten to experience pouring rain with the mat but it fits well and looks like it will do a good job protecting the interior from water pouring off the rear glass.

Definitely take it into service. The day I got mine I drove home in a rainstorm. Got water in the trunk. Called the SC and they said they knew what to do and fixed it in a day. In my case, the weather stripping had a mold (shape, not fungus) issue where a seam was left at the top side, creating a small opportunity for water to ingress. The seal that was replaced had no such issues ever since.

Interesting. Can you post a photo to show the area of the trunk lid seal where your car had a gap?

Did you check your wheel wells for possible entry? The pictures on my M3awd indicates that there should be something covering those holes. I am going to take it in for several other things, this is one of them.

Not to hijack your thread, but does anyone else have these holes uncovered or are yours covered?

One of those holes has a clip on mine

I had an E90 BMW M3 that had a taillight seal that wasn't sealing. Shorted out my stereo amp. Set the rear speakers on fire. That was fun...

I'll also mention that if you do open your trunk make sure that, like the car doors, you close it hard. Recall reading someone say that they were driving around and hadn't realized the trunk wasn't latched closed.

Mine is missing the clips as well; front and back wheel wall has holes (where it should have plastic clips). Not sure why they're not in place. Same goes for a few locations; under the rear-seat.

I'm thinking I should get a box of these for future use.

When I took mine to the SC last week they said that they should’ve been covered and will make sure they’re covered.

c141medic, most excellent, I will probably go in early next week with a short laundry list and get it done.
