so i take it my car was assembled November 15, 2004 at 2PM? Germans must love exact time frames or what to put exact time when they built it. never seen this before.
i think water gets to that latch area from rain. i washed the car and it was wet there. and i only used wet microfiber towel, not even a hose. according to carfax and autocheck, car never left state of OH. it was pretty much in Cleveland area first 4 year of its life and than it was in Canfield area and not its in Cortland. I've never heard of floods in upper Ohio. I know southern parts get hit with floods but not us.
