Hatchback Water Entry Design Flaw - Toyota Yaris Forums

El Kapitan · 02-14-2015, 04:32 AM

my '07 has that problem. my solution, which is not really a solution, is open it about half way and pause for a few secs, which allows most of the water to run off. if i open it all the way at first, just like with the OP, a ton of water comes in. pretty stupid. my car also leaks like a sieve into the back spare tire area when it rains. i've sealed everything except the antenna. if sealing the antenna doesn't fix it, i'm going to consider trading it in and writing off my brief experience with the toyota yaris. OTOH, if it does work, i really like the rest of the car and will definitely keep it.
