Cleaned the new P5 today. Looks awesome with a wash and wax. Unbelievable how much built up crud was on that car.
Found a puddle in the car though. Anyone seen that before? Can't imagine it's common.
No mold. No rust in frame that I can tell. Some in the pan for the spare tire, but it's minor. I grabbed pics. Water is in this little cup in the frame between the driver rear wheel well and tail light. I ripped out the plastics back there, which was shockingly and blessedly easy, and didn't see anything worrying. no idea where the stupid water ingressed. Muddy water I might add. Maybe it invaded that vent back there? Or some hole in the wheel well I didn't see?
Anywho. As long as there's no appreciable rust in the frame and no mold, I'll just keep an eye out for future trouble.
Wondering if it just pooled in through a bad seal thanks to all that crap on the weather stripping.
Next stop: replacing the rear rotors and pads. The ebrake currently does nothing, which is discomfitting. Going to wait to drive it until I get that done.
