Boot leak but from where

[Nick Brough]

Water is getting into the boot as shown in the picture, any ideas where from. No obvious signs of soaked carpet on wheel arches or anywhere else.

Hi Nick


Is the boot seal okay?

Could also be the ariel surround leaking

Rear light surrounds ???

Nick,

Mine leaked where the two bolts each side hold the boot lid strut.

Only a few options

1) boot hinge especially if the rubber has perished
2) light cluster seal, highly likely it's this
3) aerial point
4) some random hole, Round the fuel filler area
5) number plate lights

You forgot one mate...No boot lid....

Thanks for the replies can eliminate a couple already.

1 Aerial is on the other side.
2 went out to check and there is definitely a boot lid fitted.

Thanks

Yes with Leven cover covering the roof.

Mine leaked from the aforementioned gas spring bracket mounting bolt. To be fair, I had left the bolts off (because weather was supposed to be nice) one rainy night. So can't really act surprised about it...
