If anyone has experienced water getting into this part on GMC Acadia, and replaced the amp, what did you do to stop water from getting in there again?

There were no obvious signs of water infiltration on the amp. The replacement works fine, but was not an easy job.

I don't know why mine failed, but I dont think it was due to water. I think I would of noticed excessive water puddling under my feet. One piece of advice I have to offer is get some quote from a local car audio/video shop if your worried about getting your hands into that tight tight spot. I bought the amp on amazon and a local shop installed it for $35 dollars. That $35 was the best money I've spent in a while

I had water getting in thru the sunroofs, so I used a seal tape to seal around the sunroof on the roof of the vehicle. So far so good, one year, and no water pouring down the windshield, or out of the seat belts in the back.Also...for the top screw that is difficult to remove, Since i had no intention of putting a screw back in that spot, I used a pry bar to pop the screw, and clip out.worked perfectly! Good Luck!

Hi Chris, so sorry you are having this problem. If the water is coming out from the bottom through the grid where the wiring is .... you can see it through the multiple little holes, it is defective. There are two "legs", one on each side to slide out and anchor the device. Please let me know what happens.

i called the company and asked. it is not recomended because as the ice melts it becomes very small, slipping through the screen and damaging the impellers on the water pump. ok good?

You may have to replace it. My with just one push, locks it in or releases the reserved water.

Contact Amazon right away so they can take the appropriate steps to correct this. Other than that, you can also contact the company that shipped the unit and maybe they will send you the part or replace the unit. Referring to the part "Bushing", it may be the locking part that locks the upper drum in place. There is no small bowl to put underneath. I empty the bowl when done and any uncrushed ice is discarded. Then use a paper towel under the crusher to soak up the drips. The only critism of this is that it is very loud. Other than that, it works like it should.

Hey Zandersmom,One suggestion is to replace the impeller, sometimes debris from the water column will get in between the rubber and the socket that the impeller sits in and throws off the alignment. Mine used to make a loud rattling noise, it was very annoying. Once I replaced the impeller, all was quite again. If everything else is intact and there are no operational issues, my best guess, its the impeller. Hope this helps.TG

You must have gotten it wet. I had to let mine dry out for a couple of days "didn't drive it in the rain/ran over puddles". Put keeping it on could lead to even more worse problems down the road.

I am using the one that came with it. Entire vehicle has been exposed to water, with no negative consequences. Hope that answers your question.

i had a bleep of a time getting the water line hooked up leak-free in my 5th wheel. I ended up using a piece of garden hose so...long story short...I don't know.

The head unit is not waterproof. Speakers can get water on them and still be fine from what I've done getting in and out of the boat, but none of this stuff is waterproof.

I just filled the reservoir on bottom until it started flowing out then stop..beforehand tho I put a lil antifreeze in there to prevent freezing in the winter time

I had the same problem this year. Look on your tube and there are videos on how to clean it out and get it running again. the isnt much to the pump so its pretty easy to fix without having to buy anything.

I had that happen once. I found that I might have hit the button on the side of the start stop button and it didn't release all the water at once. I now am more careful and make sure I only hit the center button and I have not had the problem again.

i had the same issue. what i did was cut some of the green tubing to go over the connections on the pick up tube. to seal it up. that's where it is sucking air in. so i cut pieces about 1" long to fit over each connection on that pickup tube. and problem solved.

This is one of the problems when water find their way into the electronics through a bad seal.To fix mine, I replaced the whole electronic board with an ON/OFF switch taken from an LED Flash light found in a 99cent store followed by adding a thin layer of silicon sealer around all body jointsWorked just fine for the last 8 months(NOTE): With this modification,it only works on high pressure (FAST)
