Wow, this thread [bump] is timely, since only yesterday I was busy hunting down boot leaks. I have slightly rusted seams like those in post #8 and on one side of the carpet there's a small brown stain, like it's a very slow drip. There's something more major though, I emptied out about 2 litres of water from the spare wheel area last week. The rubber liner has one split, although it's at the top and it didn't seem to be wet. Anyone know how much one of those is worth?

Also, I presume sealing the rusted joins won't really help since the water will just pool above it, making the rust worse. There's a channel on each side that continues back into the body, does it drain via the wheel well? That seems to be where the minor leak is getting through.

The jack had a fair bit of surface rust (gave it a good greasing) and the wheel rim had some slimy white crap growing on it!!!
