FRUNK LEAK ON 2014???

[Mad Mac]

Hello all. Am very happy sofar w/my :spyder2: experience except for 1 issue. Went on a 700+ mile road trip w/the wife to lower mich. and after the first night out side the hotel mother nature decided to give it a bath. Had half cover on and went out the next a.m. to load the frunk and had 1 inch of standing water in the bottom. Anyone else had this problem?? Made sure the hood seal was properly in place and hood closed tightly. Any suggestions on this? Thanks all. RIDE HARD AND RIDE SAFE!!!

Use full cover in rain, or park under cover, half cover makes excess water head toward frunk.

There had to be a gap in the seal; please take another look at it, and let us know what you see... :shocked:
Good Luck! :thumbup:

Check the fuse box access covers and battery access cover are properly installed. If you have the Sena BT Dongle installed. Make sure there is some slack in the wires behind the trunk so the water drips off and does not follow the wires in.

Tracking leaks..!!

Spraying arid extra dry, which dries into a fine white powder, around the walls will help find the spot. As water leaks in it will leave a trail...have used it mostly for oil leaks but should work with water as well...:thumbup:

I would be checking the seals. I use the BRP 1/2 cover all of the time and have had no leaks.

Mine has only leaked once when I left my helmet strap hanging out.

Seal seems to be inplace and tight down around lip of opening. Hood has some up/down play,should it be tight? Has no adjustment that I can see.

Tried spray on foot powder and a garden hose(low press.) and not a drop that I can tell but thanks for the good idea!

I rode my 2014 home from the dealer and washed it. When I did, the frunk leaked. Not hard spray, but just a light wash. I brought it back to the dealer for other warranty work and complained about that too. They re-aligned the frunk and claimed to have fixed it, so we'll see.

The delaer can adjust that by moving the latch around a little bit...
