I know this has been a previous thread months ago. But when I put some dynomat into my trunk lid I went to close it and heard what sounded like a loose bolt in a coffee can.

I opened and closed the trunk a few times thinking I may have jarred something loose, but after 10 seconds of actually using my brain:

IT WAS ICE CUBES!

Yes, it was cold out and that water previously trapped in the spoiler has now turned to ice and broken apart. Well now all I have to do it go to the dealership on a very cold day and let them hear the jingle.

Who knows maybe there is a tsb for this now.

i thought it was amusing.

 

i noticed this today... what did your dealer say?

 

havent had time to get to the dealer yet.

 

Still haven't gone to the dealer...its such a pain.. I am thinking its going to be easier to remove the spoiler and see for myself. Plus it won't be a bad idea to remove it and clean out any crap stuck in between it and the trunk. Anyways I will let you know next week or so what the issue is... Bear with me.

 

Um, good luck removing the spoiler. After you remove the bolts/nuts, it's stuck to the trunk with adhesive...

 

^Yeah, if it's anything like the adhesive used under the Evo VIII spoiler, it'll take two men and careful prying.

 

well then screw that idea.

 

Yeah, that was what I said. I wanted to see my car spoilerless, but I quickly abandoned that plan when I unbolted it and it didn't move...

 

had the same issue, warmed up finanlly to 42 degrees and it magically went away

 

My water in the spoiler problem has now turned into an ice in the spoiler problem. Whenever I open the trunk it sounds like somebody dumping ice cubes into a bucket

 

LOL... I've had this same problem too since winter started. I hear that same "clunk" when I close my trunk.

So how exactly does water get in there? Does Mitsu know about this yet?

 

I am not aware if mitsu knows this. I haven't had to time or the patience to take it to the dealer.
