Noob question - water ingress rear HK speaker pod

Hi
Test drove a 2 series 220i convertible petrol auto with HK sound system.

Its a convertible in the UK so always fearful of water ingress.

Car had been prepared and jet washed within an inch of its life and it had been given a good soaking. Noticed the rear speakers were not working - wondered if it was a setting.

Taking a look around there was a little dribble of water from the bottom of the rear small speaker in the side panel passenger side (there are two speakers one small up higher and one medium sized).

I assume the jet washing didn't help.

Could it be blocked drains?

I have asked for an explanation and an agreement any water/sound system repairs are covered for 12 months.

Any pro advice welcome.

Thanks pod

I've never had any water ingress issues with my 2016 F23, and it has been through some pretty strong rain storms.

Howdy

Good to hear.

Don't forget this car has had some 'preparation' i.e. a youth with earphones jet washing the living daylights out of the vehicle.
