#1 of 1 Wet trunk (spare tire well) in a 2006 300 by cyowguy Oct 24, 2009 (4:14 pm)
Hey gang, I just purchased a 2006 300. I'm not rich and famous like all of YOU with big hemis, or the more spendy models, but I love the thing anyway. When I got the car home last night, I noticed there was approx 5 cups of water in the spare tire well. I noticed as well that there is what appears to be a yellow sealant slopped around most of the seams in the well. Is this on ALL of our cars, or just mine? (is it from the factory this way??) Anyone else have water in their wells? This is a used car, VERY VERY clean, NOT A SPOT of rust anywhere on it, (which is impressive for a Canadian vehicle) so I'm not sure if this is a leak from somewhere or if the previous owner had maybe left the trunk open by accident.
