Boot Seal
Well I've still go a leak in my boot. I thought it was the spoiler, so removed it and used loads of silicone around the bolts etc, but it hasnt worked.
Next step is the boot seal!!
How much are these from the dealers? Also, mine seems to be stuck on at the moment, so can I easily rip it off....and what should I stick it back on with?
Thanks a lot
Chris

Same as mine mate. Spent ages pratting round with looking for water coming in around the lights, spoiler etc, only to find that the seal wasn't sitting tight enough, and the water was tracking underneath like a bloody river.
I need to find the price for mine as well, a 97 classic.

WTF Joz?
Yeah, I think it must be the seal now. I didnt think it was at first, but like you said i dont think its tight enough.
Mines an 03 Blob by the way.

Boot seals are coming in at £40 from main dealers. I had the same problem with my '06 Blob', cured it with the new seal.
Make sure you remove all the sealant from the boot lip before fitting the new seal and run a bead of fresh sikaflex into the seal before fitting, just to be sure.

Except that I'd NOT use Sikaflex/Tigerseal, I'd use this stuff:
Carafax Products - Sealant Solutions
IDL 99 is the stuff
