VT Boot lid holds water

[meggsy]

Hi
When it rains and I go to open the boot of the VT water pours out of the the boot lid when I lift it right up and goes straight onto the inside mat of the boot, it never used to so i am assuming that its not draining or going where it should go. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to fix the problem it must be something simple.
Cheers
Megs

mine did the same down the bottom of the boot lid is that plastic thing i drilled some holes in it now it never fills up or gets the inside wet

their is a rubber seal that runs along the top of the garnish if thats not sealing it will leak aswell the 2 square seals that run on each side of the garnish make sure they are there if not you need to seal it with new ones or silicone.

hey my boot gets water in it aswell..

i been told the seals are fine and its something to do with the spoiler, been told to just silicon it up lol.

i have a spoiler, and i don't even have the top seal on the garnish, mine doesn't leak a drop , guess im just lucky, or its getting into somewhere real bad that i just can't see and one day will end badly

According to my dad (whome designed the VT) this is just a design flaw, there is nothing you can really do to stop it :cry:

hey guys, got exactly the same problem. spare wheel well is full of water and it pi@ses me off everytime i open the boot lid, water pours out every where. What success have you had with drilling holes in the bottom plastic trim? or seal on top of red garnish?
