Moisture/dampness in boot (MK5 GTI)
« on: October 18, 2019, 07:26:58 am »
My car boot is suffering from moisture and dampness and honestly, it’s driving me up the wall.

The boot carpet feels damp and when I left it up there is moisture everywhere around the spare wheel area.

What could be causing it?

Possibly rear light seals you can get a kit from VW.

Climb into the boot, shut the tailgate and get someone to soak the car with a hose whilst you check for leaks.  Or better still, a pressure washer around all the gaps where water could get in.
