There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Wet front Trunk on my new 2014

My 2014 leaks. I checked the alignment of the frunk and it seems to be perfectly aligned. I'm going to check the gasket by putting some kind of washable paint on it and then close it (carefully) to see if there's any gaps.
FWIW, my 2008 GS always leaked, even after I replaced the gasket with the Spyderpops aftermarket gasket. :gaah:

That's a good question. I've installed the Bluetooth dongle on both my 2012 RT Limited and my 2014 RT Limited -- both times, I chose the rear trunk for easy install and easy access. I elected to put the dongle on the lid so when it's open, I have easy access to turn the dongle on and off. Makes life much easier when you install this way.....I really don't understand why they want it up front.:dontknow: I have had ZERO issues with this location and reception is great! :thumbup:

:roflblack: be careful if BRP reads this post they will think they need to install an emergency exit strap in the trunk.

Best way to test is to put DiElectric grease all around the seal and close then look at the lid with a flash light. It serves 2 purposes as it conditions the rubber and helps water proof too and my lid had to be pushed closed until I put a dab of same on my latch now I just drop the lid and it closes on it's own.:thumbup: Oh by the way it was not adjusted correctly during dealer prep but I saw it before I drove off and had them adjust it down so everything was tight,even and level.

No rain or wet water wash yet. Will be watching to see if there are any leakage issues with mine.

Checked mine today. Wet inside. So far not impressed with dealer setup even though they DID hurry to get it to me. Trunks don't latch right. Trunk leaks. Front tires had 5psi. My Harleys were ALWAYS set up better than this. But it's still ten times better set up than my Excelsior Henderson!

Sounds pretty close to mine, except for the tire air pressure, which was set exactly right. I took mine back for warranty work on the ignition and complained about the frunk leak. They sort of fixed it, but still have not gotten the side case releases right. So, back to the dealer.

Mine Too
Last week when I washed my '14 RTS, I decided to check and there was water in the bottom of the frunk. Easy to blot up the water but haven't done anything about it yet. I'm wondering if it will do it while driving in the rain or if it was just because of it standing still with lots of water being sprayed on it with the hose. I know that either way it shouldn't happen. Latch seems to work well but perhaps it needs to be pulled tighter when closed. Will have to try the dielectric grease test.

I got caught in a pretty heavy downpour yesterday. No water in the front trunk.

Good to see somebody had the sense to really get to the inside of the matter.

You people are so gullible or just not reading. You couldn't get a 2 year old in the trunk and if you did they couldn't move around to see anything.:banghead::banghead:
Trailer yes, front ftrunk NOT even.

My Frunck leaks while parked. The water is coming in through the joint where the two halves of the join, just below the fuse covers.
Pit Bull stated it would take about four hours of labor to remove the frunk and separate the halves, seal them and remount the frunk. Pit Bull also stated there is a drain behind the frunk under the latch assembly which might be plugged.
I will pull the frunk sometime and try to seal the joint, check the drain.

I seem to recall seeing someone that sells a "better seal" for the frunk, anyone help jolt my memory on who or where?
Mine is separating a little in places and adhesive is letting loose.

That is exactly where mine was leaking as well as some others. The entire tub was replaced under warranty and has not leaked since. As good as I know Pitt Bull is as a dealer, not sure why they are not just getting a replacement tub for your frunk.

This problem developed for me recently after over 1 year old and over 11,500 miles on my 15 RTL. I have washed this thing and ridden in the rain too many times to count and never had any water in the frunk. Now, two rainy days in a row, I've got standing water in the frunk. After reading the posts here, I pulled the liner and rain a hose into the drain hole at the latch. I had a steady stream of water pouring into the frunk from the upper mount hole of the Bluetooth dongle bracket. The hole that has the plastic barbed pushpin in it. Since I've already moved the dongle to the rear trunk, I removed the bracket entirely and plugged the hole. No more water!!
