Frunk is soaking wet after a wash - any thoughts on where it's coming from??
Every time I wash my 2021 RTL, the Frunk gets soaking wet, but only at the bottom. Only using a normal garden hose. Can't tell where it's coming from! Any thoughts here? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Peter for the suggestion! Did not think about the battery cover, it appears the bottom portion was not sealed properly, probably fixed now!

Put a bright flashlight in at night and see if you see any light leaks around the lid/hood.

Not on my Spyder, yet, but on my boat I have used "Kolor Kut Paste" with good results for finding out where water have leaked through without leaving any traces other than a lil puddle on the floor. Especially around my windows. I just smeared the paste around all the windows on the side with the puddle and in contact with water the paste change to bright red.
My thought was that if you remove the inner lining of the frunk and smear a line of paste on strategic places, you will find the entry of the water.

Oops, did not see it was maybe fixed already

Have used a bunch of Kolor Kut over the years. Never thought of using it in this type application. Filed away for future reference if needed.
