Water in boot

Iv noticed over the last few weeks the carpet in the boot getting very wet not sure where water is getting in maybe from the spoiler bolts who's the best person to ask cheers

My boot gets a bit of water in after heavy rain, need to sort it but the weather needs to get better before I can!

Three likely areas - Boot seal, which I intend to pull off, reseal with some sticky silicone and replace. Rear light clusters have sealant around them where they attach to the body, not sure this is the issue with mine but will redo since I'll have the sticky stuff to hand and finally the spoiler bolts which I think is going to mean taking the spoiler off and giving the holes on the top side of the boot lid a blob of sticky silicone. Really hard to tell which is causing the problem, so I'm going to address all three. belt and braces!

I've read the best stuff to use is non-setting silicone but since I can't do the job til it stops raining every other day, I've not bought any yet! I've taken the carpet and liner out for now so it doesn't start to smell

hi hill,im betting its coming in from your spoiler,were its bolted onto the boot,i had same problem couple of weeks ago

John did I sort it itself or did I get someone to do it for you

all you need to do is put some silicone were the spoiler is bolted on around the nuts (problem solved)

when mine was leaking it had the non-setting silicone on so i would use the setting silicone cos i dont have any issues with the setting silicone now

Boot seal rubber is a favourite too as stated

And rear lights on classics.

why not get in the boot, then get someone to hose pipe the outside & i'm sure you will find the root cause
