Found Water in the Trunk (originally titled: The Platinum Beast)

Are there any other 8 drivers experiencing water in the bottom portion of the trunk

One of the drain hoses around the trunk gasket is probably plugged. Clear that and you should eliminate the problem.

I don't remember where it is either. I wouldn't remove the gasket unless it's deteriorated. Maybe someone else will know exactly where the drains are.

There was a thread started about this almost a year ago, you can start by doing a search using the same wording as your title of your other thread.

Wait, am I missing something? What is the significance of the thread title? It seems to be completely unhelpful and have nothing to do with the issue.

Kareem wants attention... And a little spoon-feeding.

Your, correct.
The rules say, 14. Please include a descriptive subject for your thread. People shouldn't have to open the thread to find out what the topic is!

I'm making a change to the title. It will reflect the content of the thread.
