However for a while now there has been a terrible boot leak. I have no idea what to do because the only thing people have suguested to me is the spoiler. Funny thing is that i do not have a spoiler. People have also suguested the licence plate, well first of all the water is running from the top of the inside of boot down, not up, but anyways i made those screws as tight as they could go.

Nothing works. Everytime its rains my boot is full of water, but not under the parcel shelf, only where the spare wheel is. Everytime i open the boot the top of the boot is drenched and its starting to rust. Obviously there is no way of testing this.

Has anyone heard or had this problem themselves, its driving me insane and the boot stinks of wet carpet.....everyone knows how bad that smells. Please help.

hey luke,

Tryin this forums stuff for the first time!!

Have seen water entry from seams where the rear quarter meets the boot surround (sometimes you can see small gaps where filler has been missed).
If all else fails, jump in the boot with a torch and get someone to spray around the rear windsreen and around the boot, works most of the time.
