Water ingress nearside boot

<< < (2/3) > >>

Andy:
Glad you got it working
The water leak,check the rubber sleeve where  the wires go into the boot

Colboymac:
Ah good it worked. I filled that with sealant, perhaps not enough. I took out the top grommet from the boot lid also but in the rain, and when the water was getting in it looked bone dry. For good measure I put a little sealant round the boot lid to body grommet to create a seal also. Love my golf but this one niggly thing is really annoying me.

Colboymac:
Any ideas guys?

lukemk5gti:
Sit inside the car with that trim removed and boot shut. Have a friend hose it down!

It's either a leak in the rubber surround or else through one of the rubber seals for the wiring
