It has been raining the last day or so here and I have discovered another little issue in regards to the car. This is an issue of the roof leaking water in the rear.

It is occurring on both sides about where the plastic pillar covers meet the headliner. I have checked the little black rubber pieces where the hinges are on the trunk to make sure they were okay. They seemed okay to me, but it was raining and I did not get a chance to fully inspect it.

The SRT is not a convertible. I did search and it seemed the last time a thread was created was back in 2006 and 2008.

Was there some type of bulletin Chrysler made if there were any issues? Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

I'm not aware of a bulletin, but double check that your drains are clear. It could be the Pedo Bear on your windscreen

 

when it rains... it pours.... inside the car.... lol

that Star Wars bear is protecting the front! and that stupid AMG sticker is failing the rear!

to check the drains, i am assuming i need to remove those plastic covers?

 

The car is probably ashamed for pretending to be something it's not.

Is it leaking from the top or the bottom?

 

I am sure it is...haha..The curse of the AMG SRT...LOL...

It is leaking from the top.

 

Maybe it's the Panda sticker evoking the power of the rain forest.

 

That totally makes sense! It isn't the AMG sticker at all! I feel a tonnnn better now!

 

possibly the weather seal around the back window? You need to be careful. Robert in "Somewhere I don't remember" Tennessee had to replace his wiring loom because it shorted out in the boot due to water damage.

 

I know that wasn't very helpful, sorry. I suspect you just need to swap out the rear hatch seal.

 

Luckily, I have a garage and the car is in there now. Also, work has a parking garage and I plan on parking in there as well.

 

No problem! haha...

I will have to recheck the weather stripping again, it looked okay.

 

I see that everyone that has answered lives in Tennessee, that may explain why I cannot understand what people are talking about.
Photos or a better description would help, 'little black rubber pieces' ?

 

The problem isn't that the responses originate from Tennessee, it's your IQ.

 

Glad I could be of no help then.

 

When you open the trunk, at the top, there is some sort of black wire loom ( I believe that is what you call it) that goes from the trunk back into the car. I am assuming this is wiring for the electrical stuff.

 

That loom only contains the pneumatic line for the trunk lock, and the wiring for the 3rd brake light... On N/A cars, it would also contain the wiring for the spoiler.

Double check the "snugness" of that seal... that's most likely the culprit.

Also, pull your trim panels and make SURE that no water is standing in the rear floor anywhere. The main "hub" for all locking systems is in the low-spot, near the gas filler tube (RH rear). When it shorts out, the car goes nuts and won't lock/unlock.

 

Will do.

The trim pieces are already loose. It should not be too difficult to check.

 

When my SRT Trunk was collecting water it was from the seals under the wing, others have reported leaks and rear windshield blow out from the actual window seal.

 

JHM2K is correct once more, the boot around the wires and pneumatic hose can leak. The leak can occur around the hole and also the boot itself can get torn or break.
At the very least take the trunk mat out and check for water around the Styrofoam covers that the mat sits on, any water could be seen in the gap between it and the trunk pan. Any water will destroy the pneumatic pump and you will have an expensive part to replace.

 

Sorry, but I really didn't intend to offend.
