  1. Another idea I've had is to run a strip of door insulation to bolster the seal?
  2. Finally an image that shows the path of water seeping in. I guess the trick to cut a slit in the seal to allow water to get out is the fix, be it, admittedly, not ideal, is the way to go before replacing the seal altogether. Whilst the chalk on seal technique highlighted perhaps an imperfect seal, it just seems odd the seal fills with water and seems to channel it in into the boot where run off is the natural path? Thanks for your consideration.
  3. He Mac11irl, Thanks for replying, it's a hatch. Tried the chalk and damp wipe. It didn't seem so great the seal. I will give it a hose and see what happens. I could try sticking a strip of door insulation 10mm wide 4-5mm depth I got along the boot door seal line. It could confirm the seal's the issue? Thanks again
  4. Hey all, I noticed the Bag of Bags kept in the boot was damp recently. Progressively got worse. The spare wheel was 2/3rds full of water over course of time 2-3months approx. Popped the seal to release. When I open boot, water seems to pool and go inwards at either edge of the flat line Along top of bumper by each corner light and the seal between with the little holes in it squirts out water when squished. For the amount of water that got in I thinks I should see a fairly obvious fault or ingress residue somewhere but can't see anything obvious. Any suggestions please🙏🏻
