Hi there,

Noticed tonight that I have some water coming in from somewhere in the boot. I read that it could be the tail light clusters but all seems to be dry around there. It's all muddy and gathered around my spare wheel and soaked into the boot lining.

Any idea where else I should be looking? Is this a common issue?

Thanks,
Jamie

Mine the boot seal has gone - if I park the car nose down on the drive water pools at the bottom of the rear screen and it pours over the seal into the boot

Is it common? Yes. TRy a search.

I'm too busy to write it all out again, but I'll look in again tonite to see if you found anything.

Useful info there and thanks for the link to the thread.

I'll check out the light seals again in the light this time and then maybe check out the spoiler.

Their a pain in the *** for this.
I've re-sealed my rear lights, changed the boot seal, re-sealed the boot spoiler, and checked out the vents behind the bumper, and there's still ruddy water getting in!

I've even had the mrs spraying the outside with a hose while I was inside the boot, and couldn't see anything coming in anywhere.

She then thought it would be funny to bugger off, leaving me in the boot

What did you seal with?

And where is the wet?

Lol that doesn't give me much hope!

I've not had chance to have a proper look yet but I moved my bootlid up and down and heard quite a bit of water sloshing around in there! So indicates spoiler holes causing the problem!

I used a tube of stuff called "arbomast" it's a non setting windscreen sealer and very good stuff.
Come to the conclusion that's its still my rear light lenses, little bit of misting noticed today on the Nsr reverse light.

No mate, sounds like a cracked spoiler.

Is it an aftermarket jobbie? I had similar with a f/glass copy of an STi6 spoiler, I NEVER cured it, just waited and bought a genuine one.

Meanwhile, check where the LOWEST point is on yours, drill two holes, one each side, allow water to drain, fit black plastic blaning grommets. Then you can drain it every few weeks. It's what I did.

Hi mine was leaking from underneath spoiler . The rain was getting under the spoiler between small gap between spoiler and boot lid(rear window side)so I applied small amount of clear bathroom sealant and no more leak!

I just get a little water ingress on the passenger side of the boot when I wash it so not a biggie.....at the mo anyway lol.
