Posted May 22, 200519 yr There's some form of leak in my boot which is really pissing me off. I thought it may be from a gap in the rear lights or something but there isn't really a gap for water to leak through plus the lights are not wet inside. The carpet is soaked straight through and near enough the whole bottom end of my boot gets wet when i wash my car. I've looked hard to find where it's comin from but havn't found any clues! Any suggestions?

May 22, 200519 yr Take your parcel shelf out and get in the boot!! Get an assistant to tip water over the boot (making sure boot is shut first ) you'll see exactly where it's coming in from.
