Upon opening the boot for the first time in a couple of months I was greeted by an unpleasant cascade of water running from behind the boot lid carpet out of the window end of it and out of the bulb change hatch
I then checked under the boot carpet and found about an inch in the spare wheel well. Clearly it’s been sneaking in for a while! Is there a common leak point in the boot lid? I’m guessing round the lights but peeping up with a torch revealed little but condensation on all the metal areas. The lid itself appears to have a couple of small bungs at the bottom in what I would assume will be drains to outside which I’ve popped out for now so anything sneaking in can just run out of the bottom and brought the carpet indoors to dry as it’s soggy along the bottom. The wheel well fish bowl is dried and the spare sat in the boot for now. Any pointers welcome!
