Hello,

the 2 side pockets in my boot fill up with water in the winter.

I've taken out the carpet trim and done the talc thing.

On one side the leak is coming from the side vent behind the chrome bumper where the tube from the sunroof meets it.

Should there be a gasket between the side vent and the bodywork? I can't find the right bit of realoem.com to tell me.

The other leak is coming from the tail light gasket. Is the dealer still the best place to get those from?

Many thanks, :)
