How To - Water Leak (Big Gremlin)

[Gary406]

ok after 3 months messing about ive finally found the little B&*%$£D
if you have water in the boot i will put money on it being here. or even water in the footwells.

OK - remove rear bumper


and then check the corners arrowed here. you can see the bloody hole. well there was genuine seal here from factory new but over time it goes hard and starts to piss water past into your boot

i didnt think of it 1st 2-3 months ive been at this water leak with no fix i decided the bumper is coming off
the bumper is back on now with onl 2 bolts so 2moro i can get it off easy to build up more tigerseal .

Are you sure that's not some former minor accident damage repair?

[Gary406]

nah mate its not repaired damage.
its were the rear quater ends and joins onto the cross section of the car ..

the old seal was allready there - yellow stuff - i cut it all out and made that hole ...

its exact same on bothe sides.

[Gary406]

the black section overlaps the yellow section

[Gary406]

its all black and dirty because of me. it was red before
