About 2 weeks ago I posted about one of my side compartment doors being open even though it was locked and I have not used it in 6 months.
Well this morning I decided that since it rained last night I would check for leaks. I have not had any water problems since I have owned my Av and I don't do this every time it rains but I do somethimes. Well I reach in behind the rear seat and I feel wetness So I take out the car seats and lower the rear seats to investigate. It wasn't soaked but there was a few drops of water running down the side. Well I press on the midgate and it is loose So I push it so that it latches and then I do the other side and I find the same thing. Now the strange thing is that I have not lowered my midgate since last September!!! There is no way this thing has been not closed incorrectly for 6 months and this is the first time it has leaked. I spray the rear window pretty good when I wash it and I always check for leaks after that and there has been none. I am wondering if the midgate could be unlatching on it's own I do open the bed and close it on occasion, as a matter of fact I used the bed last night. I know that when you close the tailgate with the cargo panels on there is alot of air pressure in there, could that have loosened it?
So if you guys don't mind if you have not opened your midgate in a while check it and post here if it is unlatched. I'm interested in knowing what we find.
Thanks,
