Radio/tape Cd Player problems of the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Two problems related to radio/tape cd player have been reported for the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2018

The spyder GS has always leaked from the soft top seals specially from the top right passenger side. It is a very common issue in the 2nd generation spyder GS which im suprised it has never been a recall for the weather stripping. Dealership charges 300 for the weatherstripping and they still leak after a couple years. I dont have pictures but after rain, the whold car is wet and as I drive and take my first turn, the vehicle starts to leak from the corner and gets center console and radio wet. All over the Eclipse forums you will see the issue without a recall. Mitsubishi has not yet given advice on how go fix this. Car cant be driven in the rain without having to leak.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Four of eight radio speakers are inoperative.
