Tourer Rear Loadspace Leak
Have just found water in the boot of my tourer. Are rear light seals available for a tourer?
Thanks in anticipation |

**Edit** as yours is a tourer, they don;t have cluster seals, from memory. Are you SURE that the water is getting in through the rear lights and not as below?!
Just clean/dry everything off and take it from there But, also check the vents under the rear bumper as these can let water in as well IIRC Last edited by JoeMc; 9th December 2016 at 11:53.. |

The tourer is worse then a saloon for rear end leaks, and I've had most of them
You can discount rear lights as the bolt to the outside of the body, and unless you've had a tow bar fitted the wiring is probably undisturbed Where is the water forming ?

Noticed water in spare wheel well when I took the spare wheel out. The water was clean and not rusty. About 1/2 pint. Have just recently purchased the car. Have not run it yet it has been stood on my drive since purchase.about six week ago.

Forgot to say it has a removable tow bar fitted before I purchased it.

Water in the well could be a number of things, but try the two vents one each side and the wiring for the tow bar

If the car has a factory sunroof, it'd be worth checking the two drains that run down either side behind the rear wheelarches. There's a bit to strip out to get to them, but an easy fix once you're in there

On my tourer the water hangs and drops from the steel pressing immediately below the rear sode window (straight onto a sat nave if there was one)
I can see all this as all the trim is out looking for the leak. I know it's not from the vents. |

Try under the roof rail trim, this has been documented elsewhere and I suspect I have the same problem!!
