got the well known leaking rear light cluster prob which results in a wet boot - however on closer inspection there are two holes ( one either side ) just behind the rear wheel arches , in the boot floor and i can see thru to the ground thro them - looks almost like a rear strut brace had been fitted and then removed - anyone enlighten me on what these holes are for !! should there be something filling them !

 

Could of had a tow bar fitted at one point (witter) i had to drill a hole each side of boot near the wheel arch when i fitted mine on .

 

it did !! spot on ! nothing to worry about then - should i fill them if no longer in use ?

 

There should be some rubber plugs on there is its the ones im thinking about

 

You should have rubber gromits filling them!

 

well i havent ! where can i get some ?

Depending on the size, car shops sell them, as do auto factors. Measure the diameter of the hole.

Car shops tend to sell them in packs of 6, three different sizes, but still not dear.

yep they should have rubber grommets but I thought the wholes in the boot were to let the air out of the cabin when the doors were slammed
