My 2006 Kia Specta 5 fills up with water Ech time it rains. The water sloshes around and sometimes comes through the floor on the passenger side. My mechanic has cleaned it out while it is up on the lift. The Kia dealer tells me it will cost upwards of...

If it fills up with water when it rains then your problem is not with the a/c system. To find the leak pull off trim pieces and look for water coming in while some else sprays water from outside.

Yes I have owned the product for a year now. I can tell you I do have a large amount of water leaking into the bed of my truck. Also if you purchase the BAKFlip through Amazon the company will not warranty it.

I agree with Dustin's response, but would like to add that it does somewhat affect the windshield washer function when driving at high speeds, it kinda makes it a finer mist than normal. Other than that I personally have been happy with mine.

I had one that died a month after installation, on a day that it rained a lot. Schlage was great about replacing it with minimal hassle. I asked whether I should protect the new one from rain to avoid a repeat, and was told that I didn't need to--that it should be fine in the rain and mine must have been defective. It could be that my defect was in the rain protection, or could be that it was a coincidence. But in any case they seem to stand behind the product and intend it to be fine in wet weather.

I've had water splash over the hood a few times and it pulled me out almost immediately after - whatever that tells ya

I can certainly tell you that the suction is maintained in the rain. I live in a temperate climate and have not had a problem. The instructions do suggest wetting the surface of the vehicle prior to attaching the suction cups. From a theoretic standpoint I would be concerned about attaching the suction and then experiencing a rapid and dramatic change in temperature. However if the suction is starting to diminish the indicator on the pump will start to show and it can be pumped again to increase the vacuum.

Yes absolutely mine got rained on many times. You just have to tilt the cushions on their side to drain out the water because if you don't the underside stays wet.

I can't say anything about the warranty, but due to the overhanging design of the top lid, it would be extremely unlikely that there would be problems with water entry (unless perhaps you had it upside down!). We have driven through all types of weather, including heavy rainstorms at expressway speeds, and never had a problem.

It will trap water dripping off your vehicle if it is rain. There are lines built into the mat that run in a north-south diretion that will conduct it to run that way. Now if you have big chunks of ice and snow falling off, then probably not. There is no higher edge or rim around the perimeter of the mat. I live in Wisconsin and so far this year, the melt water has not run over the edge. Ask me again in April.

Mine has given me no problem at all and it gets wet a lot. For the price a guy could have a couple on hand!

I remove it every time I go through the car wash to allow the inside windows to be washed. Whenever you reattach it put a couple drops of water on the suction cup. Hope this helps!

Wont hurt anything I was driving for a year with it leaking water into the oil seems the oil is so hot it steams the water out of the oil. I wouldnt go out of my way to put extra coolant in the oil and why dont you drain the coolant first. Its at the top of the engine prb drained down lower. I saw no coolant in mine and like you say change the oil. I just traded my 2001 Impala 118K mi for a 2013 Altima I am tired of fixing stuff. Everything was about to go in that car. Tranny was next.

no, i think there is a problem if you have the anti sway part that you can add on to the eaz lift. I have not had any problem backing up or running in the rain I have 9000 miles on the eaz lift. There are grease fitting where the bars go into the hitch, grease it, or the hitch makes a snapping sound when you turn.

My experience has not been as positive as the other responders in wet weather. The light was mounted to my seat stem and the water flung from the rear tire hit the bottom of the light and even with the rubber plug in place water gets into the light. I don't ride in rain very often (maybe 3 times over the past year), but the water has caused the electronics to corrode and the light now will not charge.

I Have a 2004 and it seemed to work OK. It got rained on at least 3 times, once very heavy, but I couldn't find any places where it leaked.

My guess is no. I have the same problem and I've tried everything, like you. Every morning it's the same thing and I'm constantly rubbing it with a towel, to no avail. This didn't help either. I was told that with the newer cars, esp. those that have the rain sensor, there is a film on the inside of the windshield and I suspect that's the culprit. This is my first car with that feature and also the first time I've had this constant problem, so you aren't alone. I keep meaning to call the service manager at the car dealership but never have the time. Let me know if you have any luck. LA
