Boot Leak

[Gadge]

Hi,

 

I have a water leak in my boot which I have only just noticed due the smell of rotting felt under the carpet, the top of the carpet never got wet.

 

I believe that the water is coming into the car from the bolts holding on the rear lights in place since the seals around the lights don't look too healthy.

 

Ford charge £30 for these seals and cannot obtain them until Tuesday, Euro Parts don't stock them at all.

 

Can any one suggest a place local to the Leeds area where I might be able to obtain these seals? I was also thinking that I might be able to use a water proof sealant around the lights to fix this problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Can you also suggest any other place I might check for a leak? I have seen something about the 'sunroof drain hoses' on another site but I don't know where to check this.

Thanks for the reply. We had a bit of sun earlier so I did this, hopefully it had time to set before the rain
