Water in rear jack compartment?

[George,Jr.]

Hi All;
I have a 2004 SRX and had a problem with water in jack compartment. I removed the rear hatch seal and cleaned it and resealed it with silcone sealer. I then removed the tag panel and resealed it with selcone sealer. then i cut the carpet and foam mat around the jack compartment and dryed it for several day. I then took a long small punch and on the rear panel about 3 inches up from the quarter size hole in the panel I punched a hole in the two rolled V rips so water would run outside should the seal leak. Then I put high presure tape on the quater size hole.. Good luck George Jr.

Tks and have a nice day

p.s.

Open your hatch in the back of the vehicle. Look in the center against the back of the vehicle. THere is a black plastic button that opens the compartment that holds the jack to use if you have a flat tire.
The GPS can be used anytime, all you do is hit the on-star button on the rear-view mirror.

Well, I've got to tell you how excited I am. I pretty much gave up on the wet jack area and felt like it was something I was going to have to deal with myself but it finally dried out. I guess after my second visit (this time to a new dealership) to get this fixed they actually did it.. It took from April to sometime in the last month to finally dry out 100% I stuc a a few layers of paper towels under the jack to kep the rust from getting on the carpet. The carpet and paper towels are now bone dry. I stuck my finger in the little hole and poked around (I know what you are thinking) and it was dry. YIPPEE!! The last fix that was done was a complete replacment of the weather stripping. Good luck to the rest of you. By the way it's been very rainy in Cleveland this summer so I'm convinced the problem is fixed.
