Hi, I am new to the forum. I just bought a 08 2.5 dark slate coupe. I love the coupe but I have had a few small problems and wondering if anyone else have had any input.

1

when it rains i cant even have my windows even slightly cracked. I get drips faling on my door panels no matter what speed or anything.

2

when i was my car I cant open the truck for at least 2 hours till it dries because there will be a small water fall that falls into the trunks inside. so i have to just let it dry on its own.

3

passanger side seat belt oftens bangs lightly on the side making a annoying noise. I even flipped the belt to see if that helps and nothing

thanks in advance for any input.

David

my trunk gets wet if i open it up after i wash it. It doesnt leak any other time or anything like that. the back inside is a pain in the butt to wipe with glass cleaner haha. I was thinking about getting some air deflectors or something but i think that would look lame on the copue. I also wondered if anyone knows if the 2.5 and nissian is glued on the back or is there a hole? I was thinking about taking them off to make it look cleaner but didnt want to do any body work.

ps thanks ahead of time and I hope everyone had a happy and safe new years.

badging on the back is glued on. dental floss and a hair dryer or just a hot day will do. floss between the glue and the lettering not the glue and the paint then just put some goo gone and wax it off at the end. pretty straightforward

thanks for the input on the badge. I just dont like the way it looks on there. I think during the spring I am going to get headers, exhaust, intake for it cause I dont have a garage to work on it on my own. If any one has any input on any of these iteams that would be cool.

David

ps

i like a deep exhaust sound not ones that sound like a cain saw

No and No on the water dripping, and I ride with my windows down all the time.

My seatbelt buckle bangs as well, I just put the buckle all the way at the top, pull the seatbelt down, and flip the buckle under the plastic guidertop up .

I think every car i have owned the rain has come in my window.My seat belt bangs occasionally and then i just move it up or down and it stops.No trunk issues.

New or used coupe?

It was a new coupe like 40 or 50 miles on it if that. The guy at the service place at the nissian dealership wasnt very helpful at all!! The seat belt buckle not like a realloud banging but u can here it knock against the panel of the car.
