Hi Everyone,

Got a paddling pool in the spare wheel well of my Scooby. Anyone else had the same issue water getting in and how did you sort it ? Is there a common leak spot on these? No record of damage to rear of car.

Is the spoiler the original one the car was sold with?

Hi, try the rear lights....
from around the seal, a bit of a bodge but on our old impreza, just dropped a thin bead of clear silicone over the top edge.
dry ever since over last few years.

Did you fix it?

I have the same issue on my 2005 WRX, i've stuck my head through the middle of the rear seat after i've washed the car it appears to be coming from the rear window seal. What is the best or cheapest way to resolve this?
