Eh up all,
This is getting to be a habit - nowt wrong with car then it comes in floods
So got the front footwell dry by clearing the two ducts in the engine bay as you know, plus got battery sorted.
Over Christmas noticed condensation on the rear window- blamed Mrs as usual as thought she had everything on and all widows closed and with all the rain we’ve had no airflow in car so steamed up.
Claimed I was paranoid - can you believe that - me
Anyway managed to get a bit of dry weather and opened up car tailgate, no signs of a break in the seal or ingress at the lip anywhere
Flipped the tailgate and heard water - sloshing around in the bottom of the tailgate -WT§
Popped out the little black drain covers and dropped the boot - no water came out but all clear
Puzzled I took out the rubber bump stops and did same - it pi88ed out -
So took of the trim and looked inside the boot cavity - damp so dried it out ( I know it will get wet again but wanted to bottom it)
My question is anyone else had this
Where the hell can it be coming from
How the cluck can I trace the leak source
Assuming it’s coming from top plastic spoiler/ brake light mount rather than boot lift handle
Thought about blowing some fine chalk in and seeing where I get a run after a week - I blo88y hate water
Not a happy chap
This is a first for me don’t know anyone with this issue or read about it on any forums.
As usual all help appreciated
Cheers
