Rear Access Covers

[Stuetels]

Had a small issue last weekend where my 2014 RXT started taking on water. The dealer is telling me that the water must have came in the rear access doors since they are unable to find any other entry point. The doors i have are a little warped and Seadoo wont replace them. the dealership said all of the 2015 they have in stock have warped doors as well. Has anyone found a solution to make the covers seal a little tighter?

What are you referring to using the term "doors"?

On my RXT-X both doors (access panels) were missing the rubber bumpers on the hinge side. You couldn't adjust the studs far enough to stop water from getting in. Looked at a parts list and realized mine were missing. Others have out additional automotive molding to help. Mine do not leak at all at this point.

I had this exact same issue on my 2010 GTX. My solution was do put a "D" cross section gasket, two rows of it, one on each side of the little channel in the fiberglass. Second thing I did was install a bilge pump.

Sorry ment the access covers on the back that lead to the battery.

THanks Jaybeaux, definitely going to try both the gasket and bilge this weekend.
