Has anyone else noticed snow getting blown under the tailgate (mines a scout estate) into the boot, when parked  up in street,

iv noticed it twice now, was definitely closed fully, only other thought was, it’s happening when lifting the tailgate up, causing suction 

pulling the snow off the rear bumper into boot? Iv never found rain getting under the boot tailgate, Mmm

suction. if it's fluffy snow and you don't brush it off the bumper, that's what will happen. How much?

 

regularly drops into the boot of my hatch and off the roof onto the seats if you don't brush it off properly.

When I open the door (on any car in the snow), most times it wall fall into the car.  Not necessarily noticed it with the boot but will check later.

Ok, this does make sense the more I think about it, prob was a dumb question I asked.... , I never had this with my mondeo , must be the shape and height of the huge flat bumper surface.

I tend to leave my large (mini broom)  like snow/ice scraper in the boot ,so I don’t have to open any doors before I’ve cleared the snow off, as yes snow falls onto the seats, .......case closed......

Also If you haven't totally cleared the rear screen, and lift the tail gate it will slide down and into the boot.

Happens when I get in the car (and previous cars), always get some snow dropping on the drivers seat, nothing more refreshing in the morning than a cold wet arse

Now THAT'S snow in the boot!!

At least he can see out of his rear window now :-0

Lol, love this forum

personally, the scrapers and brush are always behind the driver's seat. Wipe the rear door before opening, open that and get snow on it... then clear the driver's door before starting and then the rest. Then drive off.
