2052006 10 Posted January 15, 2008 There are two small holes in each bottom corner of the tailgate. Water come out of these and runs down into the boot floor. I've taken the boot lock apart and resealed it, also the rear spoiler where I had read somewhere that water gets in through the spoiler bolt holes. However, annoyingly, it's still letting in water from somewhere.....any ideas? The window seals appear to be okay. cheers Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted January 16, 2008 Possibly the boot seal itself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeHunt79 0 Posted January 17, 2008 I also have a leak somewhere in the boot... Is there a good way of finding out where it's leaking? So far I think it could be either the tailgate or the rear windows.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2052006 10 Posted January 17, 2008 Well, trial and error with a hose pipe suggested that it was still the spoiler mounting points, so re-sealed them (did a better job this time) so will see if that works. Mine is leaking from the bottom corners of the tailgate. They look like drain holes, but when shut, they are on the inside of the seal! I guess they're not meant to be drain holes, but that's what they're acting as at the moment due to a leak 'somewhere' in the tailgate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I was me, I'd remove the plastic trim and get someone to drench the back end with water while you sit in the boot and watch where the water is leaking in.

brian j 32 Posted January 17, 2008 On mine it was the screen seal itself. I tried for months to trace it and got stuck. In the end I pulled the rubber surround out and then it was obvious where the leak was. Just cleaned up the groove round the screen and ran black silicone round.. If you are careful and smooth it out with a wet finger afterward, it looks better than original and cures all screen leaks in one. Worth a try if you get no joy with what you've done.

Super Josh 4 Posted January 18, 2008 Is it possible to remove the trim, silicone up where the leak is and then put the trim back in place? I think mine might be leaking from the rear screen too. Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
