Hello, There is a leak somewhere on my Boot Lid or around the rear on my VP Calais, I've checked all of the rubber strips that surround it and they all seem fine, I've also checked the Boot Lid itself and cannot find where the water is getting in, I've had to take my Sub Box + carpet out as I'm getting puddles of water in my boot every night. Has anyone had a similar issue? What have you done to fix it? I'll gladly take some pictures of my boot if anyone requests them. All help is appreciated. Cheers, Chris

Cheers, Chris I would say check your tail lights and also the way they seal to the body, as from the VN's onwards they leaked from factory,fixed heaps with Sikaflex,makes em hard to get off but stop's the leaks. remember saw a brand new Group A VN less than a week old ,with water in the tail light, not good for a $50G + car pull the boot carpet out etc, get in the boot with a torch, and get a mate to pour water around the boot,give it about 60 sec to run in and you will see 4 sure.

Im going to say tail lights too. Put a sprinkler on the boot lid and pull down back seats and look where the water is dripping in.
