Title: Water in Boot
Post by mondeoman on Oct 24^th, 2010, 7:10am

I have got water coming inside my saloon boot again and never sourced the cause of the problem.
The top carpet is dry and the cushion layer underneath is soaking wet on the drivers side corner.
So much water was present it 1/4 fill up the spare wheel hole.
I have fitted as standard the parking sensors to my rear bumper.
I do wash the car with a pressure washer, so is their any weak spots where I could get water inside the car with one of these?
Anybody else had this problem?

Cheers,

Simon

Boot seal ?. A known source of water ingress is the seals around the rear lights.

Also check the rear sunroof drain pipes where the water exits, I had the problem of water in the boot on my old MKIII, drain pipe had dislodged and popped itself over a lip causing the water to drain into the boot.

The rear light strip is known to leak around the edge :)
