Unhappy

I found water in my boot(Side pockets and the wheel well)on my 95WRX.

I found the seal around the right hand light cluster had soiled away and somebody had used sealer to resolve this problem.
Water was getting in through the top where no seal had been applied.

I managed to remove the light cluster and sealant left. I placed some fresh sealer around the light but I don't know if it works yet, as it hasn't rained since.

Has anybody tried this or got an alternative solution to this?

Cheers

David

Get the hosepipe out, get in the boot with a torch and get someone you trust (v important!) to spray the car.

See my post http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...ThreadID=76786

Haven't added any sealant as yet, the stuff that's there looks ok but it is obviously getting in somewhere around the edge.
