Hi 

 

I have a Fabia Combo from year 2005. 
 

I have a problem with water coming in the back of my Fabia. 
 

It looks like the water is coming from roof and sealing, however I cannot see where from. I have tried to replace the roof rails seals with the part number 6y6 853 701. However it did not help. 
 

I have also replace the antenna. Did not help. 
 

anybody else that have experienced same problem?

 

I have attached picture of the water. 
 

I live in Denmark so English is not my native language, so sorry for any misspellings.

Fairly sure the leak is somewhere in the rear hatch seal.

I'd suggest going around the seal of the hatch with a cloth and possibly some silicone grease too.

 

That may help if the hatch seal isn't making good contact due to dirt, at least in my mind.

That's a good idea to test to see if the seal is allowing water passed but if it works I would then wipe the grease off as it will hold dirt and grit which the hatch area may be prone to.  I would clean the area and the seal again and apply either silicone spray or silicone oil to the seal only to try to rejuvenate it and give a film barrier against water getting passed again.

 

ETA: - If you have it you might also clean/rejuvenate the seal by using something like Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel. - https://www.autoglym.com/products/bumper-and-trim-gel

 

If the seal is split then of course that will need repairing, or if the seal is deformed anywhere you could try applying heat to try to reform it after cleaning and applying silicone to make the rubber more supple.

 

If above doesn't work reapply silicone grease to only the area of the leak.

 

It might be that the seal also, or instead of, need pulling tighter to the car body by taking up any slack in the door latch and catch.

 

Then of course it might not be the seal but it's a good place to start your checks.

 

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. 
 

I have now ordered a new boot seal. I hope that will help. I will keep you posted.
