problem #3

Jan 012001

Sephia

  • miles
The seams that join the body in the rear have separated, this caused a leak in the trunk of the vehicle. Separation is significant enough to cause free flowing water to be seen entering the trunk compartment. Some of the separation of the seam is not visible due to being located underneath the rear bumper.
