Wet boot

[Martyn P]

I realise it is a topic discussed previously (Fudgie 01) but I was wondering if anyone else has had water entering the boot.

Just noticed it today (never before) seems to be coming in on the passenger side only.
Carpet and sound proofing damp (not very wet). Condensation on boot lid from engine heat (I think).

Is there an easy fix or is it a trip to the dealer?

Any advice / suggestions welcome.

Check your taillight gaskets.

Thanks, will do. I will do a hose test to see if I can make it leak.

It’s a trip to dealer- there’s a new rear window seal available that I had fitted to my PE. I don’t know when they changed over -

Without wanting to seem too dim … how does water from around the widow enter the boot?
The engine cover seems dry or am I missing something?

Well seems problem solved.

It appears when the car went in for recent repairs the rubber washer that fits into the rear window on the left hand side had fallen out - allowing water to track in around the thumb screw.

Lucky the washer was still under the widow, so easy fix.

Thanks for suggestions.
