HAVAGO Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Just wondering has anyone had an occasion when they found water getting into the front boot. i opened the boot a day after the biggest downpour ever only to find water in the boot, yet I cannot see where it got in.

Steve Sandy Gemmell Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think you will find the water enters through the door latches. If you put a piece of grey 50mm tape over the latches and see if it leaks then. I modified mine to stop the boot getting wet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bas Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 As well as the latches, it could be the seal on the boot doors, and there is a small drain hole in the bottom edge of each door. I replaced the seals with a better product than the original (Bunnings has a huge range), put a small piece of fine plastic pipe into the holes (don't push in far), and at Kedron's suggestion, filled the gaps around the latches with a heavy grease. I used wheel bearing grease as it has a high melting point. It ain't pretty but it works! Bas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
