Water in boot

[VR38]

I have water in the boot all over the floor, not just in the wheel well.
Is there another common cause besides this How To Fix A VN-VS Boot Water Leak

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Could be the boot seal or the tail lights too.

spoiler mounting points (if you got one of course)

And where the number plate bolts to the boot plus the garnish trim either side.

[VR38]

^ Yeah garnish trim looks sus.It has broken mounts each end. I will try fixing it, also might try removing the boot seal, cleaning that and removing the tail lights for a look and mounting the garnish better.
Thanx guys.

What gives with the searches?

I think whatever generates the "similar threads" at the bottom of the page uses much more clever search techniques than us lesser humans. I find it turns up better threads than you can find doing the search yourself and usually will provide the exact answer to the query.
Maybe it's all done with mirrors.

has your car been hit in the rear before?
bar bolt holes
tail lights
boot spoiler
rear windscreen rubber/rust/poor install
any body join

suggestion: remove everything from boot,dry everything,get a torch,get a hose,get a mate,one gets inside with torch and mate gets hose and hoses car gently but consistantly all around the rear of the car while talking to boot guy and telling him where to look for leaks.
this is what a crash shop will do for you
good luck
cheers

They sell crashes in shops?

My boot leaks too, only when I open it though . Stupid VT boots. They drip on your stuff and don't even get me started on the struts

Are you using Google?

For those that don't, I find Google turns up a lot more results. For example, type this into the google search bar -

"water in boot site:forums.justcommodores.com.au" (without the quote, obviously).

That "site:" bit limits the search to the site that you put in.

Thanx for the tip R J K

im having the same trouble with my vn, my whole boot gets drenched.. apparently it comes from the windows or something.. dunno if its the same as the link in the first post.. but yeah, any help?

[Robo70]

It comes from the rear quarter window. There is a thread which instructs you how to repair.

Check the fuel flap hinge gasket too.
