Water in boot lid

[Rolfe]

I just merged this thread in with that one to keep it all together, as it's a recurrent issue.

This might be a public service announcement as I'd no idea my car had a leak. Maybe next time you open your tailgate you should check yours.

Yesterday I needed to lift the boot floor on car. I was very surprised to see a puddle, loch, lake of water lying in lowest part of the boot. The attached photo shows what I'm talking about. The shiny bit is the puddle of water which was left after I'd taken the tray with the finilec, compressor, tools etc out. The boot floor carpet was obviously soaked where the water had collected but there wasn't any other wetness I could find. View attachment 38304

Anyone else had this problem? If yes, did you find where the water was leaking in from?

4 attempts at 2 different dealers with the final visit being a week. Exactly the same situation. There is a service bulletin to apply sealant to a panel (didn’t fix it). There were many many clips replaced getting to things but the leak was fixed.

Thanks. Was it replaced under warranty?

No. I pulled the seal out a bit and it's been fine since. Couldn't be bothered with the dealer and the potential crap.
