mmatthej1 1 Posted January 18, 2015 We're finding water inside the boot area - a pool sitting down behind the washer bottle, easily visible if bottle is taken off - where on earth could that be getting in from? Any ideas, please? (we've checked the drain from front of sunroof, which seems to be fine and exits from somewhere in front wing - also, there is a vent hanging down in the rear drivers side wheel arch - on the other side of the body to the water pool - but I've blown UP this and air seems to run free, tho' goodness knows where it runs up to!)

ATK 137 1 Cars Posted January 18, 2015 Rear light cluster seal, rear quarter badge holes, through tailgate via spoiler holes, boot lock, rear panel locating stub, washer jet, washer jet tube disconnected, crack in water bottle, boot seal itself, hatch window seal itself, rear window seals.....etc! Can you tell I've had a battle with leaks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrfirepro 127 1 Cars Posted January 19, 2015 Jack, As Alex says there are lots of possibilities, but I would check the rear sunroof drains as they run in the rear quarter panels above the washer bottle and exit as shown here. left hand pipe is the sunroof drain exit point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmatthej1 1 Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks for responses - point taken, regarding the many possibilities but certainly that rear sunroof drain looks worthy of a check! (maybe it's the tube that exits behind rear wheel, under arch - presumably one per side) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmatthej1 1 Posted February 3, 2015 Hum, pleased to report that rear sunroof vents are both working - have spent some time seeking source of ingress and it does seem to be somewhere upwards from seam behind the rear washer bottle - not the rear light set, I reckon, 'cos there is no water behind a seam that is between back of them and section behind bottle, where 'pool' forms. I'm now thinking rear quarter badge holes, as the upper one is loose at one end, so some fitting lug behind must be broken. Wonder how these badges can be taken off, without further damaging them - any guidance, plse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATK 137 1 Cars Posted February 3, 2015 whip the interior quarter panel trim off and tap them out or prise the f***ers off if it looks like theyve been tigersealed on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmatthej1 1 Posted July 19, 2015 Seem to have resolved the leakage problem, by removing rear light clusters, then applying silicone sealant & re-fitting! Good & thanks for all suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
