Water in Boot

[doigs8]

I had the same problem with my VR SS. The seals on the rear side quarter windows were leaking. I took the windows out and used a sealant over the original seals. About 2 hours work all up.

i've got the same problem and i'm pretty sure its from the badge on the boot lid, its a little loose and has dribble lines on the inside. am gonna get a badge form a vs and replace it and prob no more gaps it.

had the same prob in my bros vs...changed the rear lights to new ones(clear ones) and it doesnt leak anymore. Too late tho as the spare wheel well is full of rust now.

I have a VS Acclaim and i get water in the boot too. The water somehow gets into the boot lid (maybe something to do with the rear lights) and after a good rain and i open the boot & water drops from the lid into the boot area. Thats whats prob happening.

my mate does windowscreens for a living. he said it is 90% chance of the quarter windows causing it.

I know this doesn't relate to the original post, but thought id say that a vs badge wont fit the holes in a vr boot. To do this you will have to remove the locating pins on the vs badge and make sure where you put it on fully covers the holes in the boot lid.

i had a massive problem in the wet season with water getting into the boot .... after a big rain i had over an inch of water above where the spare wheel goes..... lots of water in there (thank goodness i didnt put any subs in there) .... leaving the carpets out now cause it rain a fair bit here.

The info shared in this thread has been a big help to find a solution to this problem.... cheers.

my gaurdians gave me their old car, which is a vr/ toyota lexcen. there was water dripping out of the tailgate.

i loosened the bolts and pulled the lets, garnish and **** off, and just refitted them.

no more leaks silicone always does the trick though.
