Thanks! These instructions are even better and more straightforward than what is in the how-to. I'll do that asap.Gary406 wrote:if the lights are dry inside i could well be the same place mine was leaking in.
this is simple to check. remove back lights and inspect the sealant that seals the rear quater panels to the back cross section
this was my car. lights and bumper off , as stated it took me 2 months to find were it was getting in. so i will show you and hopefully it will only take you 1 day

this pic shows were the original sealant runs. light here is in place but ones removed you will see were the old sealant runs. it will probably be bristtle and yellow.

this hole is were i poked out the old seal. water would pour in the boot through this when it rained
this hole is NOT an accident damaged repair . you will see it on your car

Gary please give an eye on this threadGary406 wrote:ahh ok mate. well i'm here if you have any questions if the new light doesnt fix it ..OdinEidolon wrote:Yep I saw your guides and got a sealant that should be good on paint. We'll see.Gary406 wrote:yes it could be. i'm clued up when it comes to a water leak in the boot of a 406
it took me 2 months to finally stop mine. so i can point you in the right places if it still is getting in when you fix light.
also DONT use silicone. its no good on cars. (general household silicone i mean)
get some automotive stuff ie - Sikaflex or TIGERSEAL , these products are an adhesive as well as a sealant for all industrial purposes. ie boats. cars, caravans. bus's etc etc
However is only a small water leak that does not even get to the boot floor, it's only noticeable if I lift it up. A thin water layer near the tyre hole (UK driver's side).
