ok ... bought a AU series 3 sedan not long ago .... one [of many :roll: ] of its faults is it gets quite a bit of water in the boot? .. is fitted with a rear spoiler altho unsure if factory. afta getten her a*** dry :shock: i put her outside ta give me some room.....


afta a coupla days outside with a bit of rain .. i checked the boot and woohoo ... it errr dry :roll: :lol:

howeva .. i now find that due to the 'excellent' rain we had down here taday :| ... it's now gots some water

i have NO idea how .. but the water shows up as condensation on the inside of the boot lid plus excess water collects inside the boot lid shell :shock:

anyone had this problem before OR know HOW ta fix this errrr ... 'small' problem



thanks

water might be getting in through the hole for spoiler light wires, I undid mine lifted the spoiler and sealed around the holes with urethane.. so far so good..

i thought that ... so removed the spoiler & put some tape from work over the holes ta seal it - which i'm pretty sure it has done. incase - i put some ova the numba plate screw holes [coz i missed em lol]. howeva coz it had so much 'condensation' on the inside roof of the boot lid . . . . . i'm a wonderin... :roll:


spoiler when removed ONLY had ONE gasket unda the drivers side foot/base :shock:

Check for rust holes around the boot struts and also under the rubber boot seal.
