I am glad to hear that they are attempting to fix those problems. I just purchased a 2013 GT Convertable, I hope that I do not suffer the same problems when I pick it up in May.

I also have that problem with the drivers door lock...just pray you don't get the check engine light syndrome.

Thank you!! I think you are right! I'm looking at the Roush Axleback ( The new revised design with the weephole of course. ) I had the Steeda (Kooks) Axleback on my '12 and I re-installed the stock system before I traded it in, But its just so dang quiet! I think I want something a little louder like the Roush.

The Findings:

Water Leak / Water Retention:
A weatherstrip wasnt properly "bradded" into place and let rain water funnel into the body. They subleted the job to thier body shop and re-bradded it and sealed it. While they were at it, they also checked the drivers side as well and found nothing. So far so good, but like I said, It hasnt rained.

Undercarriage Rattle:
Re-adjusted the exhaust system and I was told to drive it over the weekend and see if its fixed. Its not. But its alot better.

Drivers Door Handle:
The lock was replaced due to binding. That issue is 100% taken care of.

Thanks so much for all the kind words, I really appreciated them!
Easy peezy, just get an off road mid pipe...you'll never hear the rattle again. Nice and loud.
