poo, a blessed leak on my Saloon
Found water in the boot. I don't think the light seal as I changed these a few years ago. Don't think from the silver trim on the side. I don't think it is from the rear screen.
Indications which I struggle to believe, is that rain water has come through the air vent hidden behind the bumper. Kitchen towel placed in expected places so I'll wait to see which bit gets wet, if non and the boot still gets wet then this will support the vent as being the issue. I need time, space and no rain for now so I can do other jobs macafee2 |

On a saloon they can leak through the rear light clusters where the foam gaskets are knackered, or I’ve seen them leak at the boot hinges, where the bolts just need a slight nick to tighten them back up, I’ve also seen them leak at the clips that hold the rear screen surround in, and on tourer I’ve also found them leak along the chrome waist trim on the inside where they clip in and have plastic nuts that hold them in place.
This stuff works brilliantly on a lot of the small leaks, I’ve used it more times than I can remember on customers 75 & ZT’s and on my own too https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F362685251345 Mick

Mine used to leak around the said vent, didn't remove vents just sealed round the edges.
Been ok for the last eight years or so! |
