Hi all

Just discovered a damp patch! No not on the mrs but in the boot of my DB9V. Was driving out in the rain and the carpet was wet through. Any thoughts on where it maybe coming from?

Thanks Horts

Have you checked the rubber seal round the edge of the boot where the lid sits? If it's damaged or not sitting right it could be letting water in.

Check the water is draining away properly from underneath the void below the metal cover of the roof.(Tonneau cover)

When is it getting damp? - When it Rains? When you are Driving? Both ??

The reason I ask is that mine had the same issue so JCT600 jetwashed it when it had dried out and there was no wetness at all. Seals were fine !!

So they jetwashed it underneath and 'bingo', the wetness came back.

It is possible that the underside of your boot has a small crack in it. Simple fix free of charge - by JCT whilst it was in for a service smile
