| Description of the problem | When it rains, there is water intrusion inside the doors. There is so much, that i have to manually dry it to prevent mold from building up. I cannot even keep the doors open to let it dry since the dashboard light for open door remains on when doors are open and this drains the battery. Service dept. At hyundai explained to me that this is due to the opening around the doors. There is a space that is quite large for the water to enter. I believe this is a design flaw. They should replace the weatherstripping if mold develops and charge me nothing to do this. |
