I've had problems with slight water ingress in my boot.
The water collects on the driver's side of the boot in the little compartment (Photo 1 & 2), clearly dripping from the top of the boot (Photo 3 & 4).
I know that this is a common problem but I have looked in several places and it does not seem to be one of the usual culprits.
I have already tried the following:
- Removed the tail light. There is water collecting on top of the tail light (in the little cavity on top) but that is the same on the left side where no water is in the boot. Moreover, all surroundings of the tail light inside the boot feel dry
- Looked at the air vent in the boot (behind the carpet) but this also feels dry. It would also not make sense why the water is then dripping from the top
- Cleaned the drain plugs for the roof (just in case). However, they were all clean and no problem there
- I even got someone to climb into the boot as well and poured water all over the boot without any luck
- I've had the car in two different garages now, neither of which found a leak when hosing the car or using a pressure washer
- Eventually I just covered most of the right side of the boot with silicone (Photo 5 & 6) in a desperate attempt to get rid of the water but, still no luck - maybe it even made it worse (could be imagination, though) (I know that it looks bad but, as mentioned, pretty desperate at that point)
I am really running out of ideas here and I need to get this sorted! My car is always parked on the road and I'm going away for Christmas, so it might happen that water will collect in the boot while I am away and my car is parked at home, meaning it may get a mouldy boot or develop some technical issues.
Any help would be very much appreciated!! Thanks guys!
