Cabby boot leak......

[miniblob]

Right then, cabby boot has started filling up with water a couple of times now!!!
Always the compartment (bucket!) on the left (as you look into the boot) which fills up!!!

Boot seal looks to be in good condition, but tbh, I haven't looked any further yet (serious problems with my back have stopped play!!!).

Took it to the polish car wash round the corner, and their excitable jetwashing didn't seem to get any water in there, yet leave it out in the rain and it fills up!!!

So could it be running down the (new-ish) roof and down the rear bulkhead or something???
Any common points to check???
Can't see any watermarks anywhere!!!

Any ideas appreciated so I can poke about as my back allows!!!

check the rear light seals, there are a common failure point.

Don't discount the aerial. Seals are generally poor even if properly fitted. Take the covers off and put some talc on the inner wing, then close the boot and pour water around the area and you'll see if that's the problem.

Light seals (as above) are also common problems.

Not had any probs with water around the rear lights that i've noticed, but will take them out and check!!!!

Have replaced the arial recently so will check that's nice and tight again - also, good thinking with the talc!!! Will deffo give that a go!!!

Ta!

I have exactly the same problem on my cab - same place too. Haven't cured it yet though.

In heavy rain, water comes in via the boot seal if you park nose down on a slope, and I am not talking a masive decline

[miniblob]

It's deffo not parked 'nose down', but there is a hefty camber meaning the drivers side is much lower - i would have expected the 'bucket' on the right to fill up, but oddly it's all in the left!!!

Rain forcast all week now so I'll be buying some talc later today!!!

I'll let you know if I find the problem!!!
