I was just going to install a Helix Soundbox and noticed this staining was on our 5 week old Alltrack’s trunk ceiling. Needless to say, this was a spirit-sinking experience. I’m pretty bummed about it.
This car has no sunroof.
The rubber wiring pass throughs between the hatch and the body that are known for being leak points appear very secure and have not ever been removed. We haven’t even had that much rain since we got the car, but I there has been some.
I did have it tinted 3 weeks ago and I am wondering if it’s possible that since they did it with the hatch open whatever fluid they were using in application of the tint ran down into the top of the hatch (which is on the bottom while the hatch was in the lifted orientation) as it was squeegeed out and then down through those rubber pass throughs and into the ceiling. That’s my only inkling of anything that could have contributed to this if it wasn’t rain and there’s no other ingress point since there’s no sunroof.
