water in the boot 5th generation

[squatter]

i got water in the boot after today rain ! anyone know where it would be comming in from ?

[Spicey]

Sedan??? do you have a spoiler??? could be coming in the mounting holes??? or the boot seal, there is not that many places for it to come in!?

[jayjaydo]

in the boot could be a few places mate.......sunroof drainage is blocked (does your back seat get wet?) or it could be that your tail lights are loose. There are articles in Prelude australia which discuss these issues.

hope it helps mate

also rear boot seal.

they commonly leak from the rear taillights......check them

[Prelude_chic92]

My 4th Gen leaked into the boot because of a poor boot seal, cracked seal on bottom edge of rear window and because the car was facing downhill.

Does your car sit on a lean or flat? If the boot sits higher than the front it may seep into the boot, despite the condition of the seals.

Just a thought...

When it's not raining spray water over the top of your boot or seals with the hose.
Then look inside see where it's dripping from.
You've found the spot, now fix it.

Had the car been repaired by a panel beater recently? Often the seals don't seal adequately when they get re-fitted.

Kazaf has the right idea

What we do at work to find leaks is : get someone into the boot with a torch and close it

Spray high pressure water around the boot and the guy/girl inside will watch to see where the water enters.

When he/she finds it, you can go fix it :) Generally, they are seals
