Can you provide craft files or photos to look at? I just tested Mk3 Cargo Bay CRG-25 with open antennae and solar panels. My ship is attached. I was very careful to ensure both the top and bottom of the Cargo Bay were completely sealed off, and not leaving a gap between parts. You might need to check that in your own ship, or specify which parts you are using, but the craft file would be most helpful.

The old 'structural fuselage' behaved the same way. There is a patch for those who want such parts to shield their contents

That patch applies the cargo-bay code to the structural fuselage, and other hollow-looking parts.

I added patches for EnginePlates and StructuralTubes to the forum thread linked above.

This may not have always been the case, but it appears that ModuleCargoBay expects there to be an animation module (or some other scalar module) controlling its state. I was able to work around this on some mod parts by adding a dummy ModuleColorChanger that doesn't actually do anything but fulfills the requirement. It would be ideal if the stock module supported this though.
