i have tried to sit in the car when it is raining to see where it is coming from but had no joy!!! Any tips advice would be appreciated!!!
Thanks

 

Water sometimes gets in through the rubber loom at the top of the boot if it`s not seated properly, what i`d do is check it`s in properly then take out the boot carpet & side covers then when it rains ( proberbly 2morro ) you may see where it`s coming from.

 

Well after having no rain for the past few days!! Me and my fiance decided to take matters into our own hands to find the leak we found that the boot was wet and proceeded to gut my boot and put the seats back and poor water over the boot!! in doing so found water leaking through a pipe in the boot. Upon taking my bumper off their was the smallest of holes and the water was leaking through this and then through the hole of this tube. We have sealed that with bathroom sealent (all that we had to hand at the time!!!) up and since then TOUCH WOOD no water!!! I will upload photos of the offending area and were it was coming threw!!!

Sorry about the spelling trying to type whilst im having my lunch at work!!!!

 

Left hand side leak-the pipe is either your sunroof drain pipe (if you have one) I think they run that side lol! Or, it will be the rear wash wipe tube that's split (common problem). If you open your boot and have alook at the top there are two rubber grommits-the right hand one is the electrical wiring for the tailgate loom-the left hand one houses the rear-wash wipe tube-it splits here. You can use an adapter from aquarium pipes. Does your rear-wash wipe work? Another common problem is that the washer part (where the wiper is) get's blocked and the hose can come off and then spew water everywhere.

hope this sorts it...you may of helped with my prob too... Welcome by the way

 

leakin boot

yea i got the same problem, i tried doin the same as wats listed above i didnt take off the rear bumper, however i did pull the passenger side pannel away to find about 1 cm of water collecting in the body behind the pannel, covered little rust holes and gaps on roof under black strip and on boot hinge but still water gets in, ive foned my local garage up as i didnt have the time to take my car appart to find where the leak was comin from so on wednesday ill put on here where it was and wat was done to stop the water in my boot and passenger footwell so other people can do the same

 

alryte peeps, came bk from garage earlier, they did a test on it and found out that it was comin from the boot hinge wiv the 2 bolts, they sealed that and also underneath it, also they found that the water was comin from the vent fing behind the rear bumper they sealed that up also and from the back, just need some rain now to find out if its worked... was charged £52.50 duno if that was cheap or dear but didnt really care as long as it stopped the leak and had profesionals to check it aswell, worth that then much much mre for a new car.

 

also they found that the water was comin from the vent fing behind the rear bumper

You changed your rear lights?

Common area this to go.

£52.00 not bad to get it all sorted.

boot leak

alryte peeps all tho we didnt really have a downpour like the other week from wat rain we did have since gettin my car sorted, my car wasnt wet in the boot or in the back passenger footwell. even in the outer pannel behind the back passenger pannel didnt have 1inch of water, so in all i reckon that £52 was worth it rather then me wastin money by lookin myself in time that i didnt have
