Revla 2 Posted March 27, 2006 Hi, As stated above, have sealed the rear lights but seems to fill up along the inside of the rear slam panel, seep out of the seam along the width of the boot and run to the seat well. I've had other 309's with leaks before.... but this is mything me! Maybe sunroof drain holes blocked - it was under a tree for about a year! Any help appreciated, otherwise its being broken for parts! (I'm keeping the rear beam though!) Cheers Trev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d-9 0 Posted March 27, 2006 Drill a few holes under the rear seat so it drains out. 309s always leak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d-9 0 Posted March 30, 2006 At the end of the day they are better than 205s, so I guess you can forgive them the odd damp patch. Not like every 205 out there doesnt have a patch of rust under the back seats anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest lenthepug Posted April 3, 2006 I have just traced the leak in my 309 to the rear light clusters. The seal is Knackered and the water was flooding the boot in a heavy downpour. The car still has 2 more leaks so will have to find those now!! Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats almost certainly the windscreen seal, however its also worth replacing the fabric washers that seal the sunroof handle (very cheap from pug) and the washer that seals the arial on.
