We are going to suggest you visit your dealership and have them in contact with the Service Dept.

Leakage is the only complaint I have with my Classic. Under driver seat mostly. I believe that the reason is because the construction technique is different whereas the boxes are not glassed into the top, but installed and caulked. If you use a mirror inside the under seat storage areas you can see the white caulking (Euroflex??). I have spoken to service. I caulked around the edge of the seat pan, and it helped somewhat. The real fix is to caulk inside of the box at the top. This would require some ingenuity that Richard in service suggested, but I have not tried. You would have to cut a piece of clear tubing to put on the end of the caulking gun to reach up in the box, and use some type of mirror system to be able to see up inside at the top of the box to apply the caulking. Probably what the dealer would do.

Don’t know about the front compartments though.

My underseat storage leaked as well. I put silicone around the interior rim where the two materials meet and it really helped. I need to add more though as it still leaked a bit in the last rain storm I fished in. None of my other boxes have ever leaked.

Disappointing to hear that in a 2020 Classic that the issue still had not been resolved at the factory. When I spoke to service, Richard said that in the first year of the new Classic (2018) they became aware of the problem, and, had it taken care of in 2019. Mine is a 2019 and leaks under seat storage. Have to wonder if it is a problem that will be ongoing because my next rig will be another Classic. Certainly not a deal breaker for me but a bit of a nuisance. Just needs proper and lots of caulking during the build.
