Water in Boot
#1
I just had a look in the boot and noticed that the carpet was a bit wet.
I took the trim off but could not see where any water was coming in from.
Any ideas

Not trying to teach u how to suck eggs... but I sometimes have the same problem, I found that if I open the boot "quickly" when there is water on the boot lid it over-runs the rubber seal/gutter.
Just a possibity (?)
Good luck, whatever it turns out to be.

Kwack, the rear light unitss haven't been removed or changed at any time have they? I know that they can be real buggers to re-seal to the body with that thick black goo.
Just a thought mate.

Glenn at TSL gave me a tip that might be relevant. There are two drains in the bottom of the rear wings ensure that they are not blocked. I had musty smell in a dry boot and one drain was blocked with manufacturers seam sealant and there was a small pond in the wing. I havn't been able to find any leak and think that it was probably a build up of condensation in cr4p british weather over the years (MY96) cos it's been bloked since new.

I had a combination of a leak around the rear light cluster (following an argument with a bollard - the new lens just needed tightening down to seal it) and getting too excited when washing the car and squirting too much into boot shut-line.

I had water getting into the nearside jack area, turned out to be the little vent leaking around the edges, took bumper off, removed vent and upon refixing siliconed around it

RichiW,
What little vent? I have been having trouble with a wet boot for quite some time - pretty sure it isn't the lights - they now have more silicone round them than seems sensible! A vent however sounds like a possible answer - just haven't noticed one - where is it?
