Leaky boot
I've noticed recently that there is leak in the boot of my 2005 blob eye wrx. The trouble I'm having is that I can't trace where it's coming from exactly, it looks like it may be dripping down over the boot hinges.
Any ideas on where it may be coming from and how to fix it?

There's another thread here started today fella, but basically it's either.
1 boot spoiler holes.
2 rear light seals.
3 small vents down the inside of both sides of the boot.
Or
4. Worst case scenario, rear window bonding leaking.
5. Boot seal
As you say it's coming down the hinges I would go for either the boot sealor the spoiler holes first.

Found my boot seal was leaking around the hinges so silicone sealed it after removing it and cleaning it. Touch wood been fine, but I try not to park it nose down too.
