EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:CARRIER/RACK
THIS IS OUR SECOND AURORA. WE HAD A 1996 AND HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK BACK THE CAR (WE HAD TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS IT WASN'T OUR FAULT) BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIX THE LEAK IN THE TRUNK WHEELWELL OR THE MUSTY SMELL IN THE CAR FROM IT. I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 1997. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN GETTING WET AS I DON'T USE THE TRUNK VERY OFTEN SO I NEVER FOUND THE LEAK UNTIL I HAD TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE TO FIT SOMETHING IN THE TRUNK. *AK
