06 GTS, sometimes when it rains water drips onto my amp. This creates all sorts of crackling and popping sounds. When it was still under warranty it blew a speaker that the dealer replaced. Until I got Mitsubishi North American involved the dealer didn't want to bother finding the problem. They then took a bunch of panels off but still couldn't find how water was getting in there.
The only thing the dealer wouldn't do was take the cowl off. His lame excuse was, well if I take that off it changes how the water flows into there. This is true but if you've taken every other piece off, maybe you'll find the problem this way.
Has anyone heard of water getting into the interior like this before? I'm thinking I should take the cowl off and see if there's any leaves jammed up somewhere.
It drops from above the amp straight down onto it and a little gets on the floor, maybe a 1/4 to a 1/2 a shot glass worth of water. Doesn't do it every time it rains, it's kind of random and hard to reproduce with a hose.
If I could just build a plastic shield of some sort it would just roll off of that onto the floor.
