Hey guys, Just noticed yesterday that my boot is starting to hold some water, Is this a boot seal drama and how would i go around fixing it?? If anyone can point me in the right direction or give me some answers it would be greatly appreciated.. Either that or ill just buy some pet goldfish and whack them in for good measure. Cheers Shaun Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

get your hose out and find out where it is coming in. it could be coming in through the seal / beaver panel. It coul also be coming in through pillar near the back window

Checked for any rust? as stated, it could be coming from a few different places... Get in the boot with a torch, and get somebody to hose it , and see where the water is coming from.

No worries thanks boys, and Matty theres absolutely no rust in/on my boot channel, or anywhere else for that matter.. But ill do the torch/hose technique when i get hold of a mate whos willing to squirt me with it.. Shouldnt be too hard

Yeah best bet get the torch exactly and get some one to hose the water or oops bucket the water off the top the roof and boot.... The usually leak around the boot seal lip that holds the rubber on ,well mine did anyway and as soon as I pulled the seal off the lip you could just see it had completely rusted through, Actually the previous owner had pop rivited some plates underneath the lip of the boot near the back window just made it worse. I use rust disolver or fish oil to maintain the boot and stop the rust works a treat....
