Boot leak/water in wheel well

[Twixxy_1989]

So I was cleaning out the car the other day and noticed that the boot carpet was soaked, so I took this out to find that the wheel well had got water in it :banghead: So took out spare wheel etc and emptied it. My question is where could it be coming from, I've checked the black grommets by the lights and they seem fine? Anyone know where else I should check. Here's some pictures

Thanks

Can you turn the black grommets?

Boot floor looks creased too!

Good spot!

Tarted turning them, no movement. The crease has been there for a while , not caused any problems lol

No, just means your car has had a shunt in the past.

Possibly the foam around the rear light clusters that seal the lights to the car body, if the wires get caught in the way of the foam water leaks in, seeing as its quite a bit I would think its something like the boot seal, or possibly a break in the rear windscreen washer pipe? all things to check.

I would drill a small hole in the wheel well.

This.

I would also say its more than the rear light thats letting it through.

Does your rear windscreen washer work?

My wheel well looked like that when the hose disconnected itself in the boot area.

Seal up the black grommets, that's one thing less to blame, I did mine and haven't had any problems since.

Also, aren't there drainage plugs in the wheel well?

Should be yeah.

There aren't drainage plug neh. Not one that's easy to remove. I had this problem in the "farm dci" and just concluded the boot hadn't been shut properly at one point or another and with the crap weather it had made a pond.

Do what I did to fix my leak, grab some talcum powder and put it around where you think the leak is coming from, next time it rains look at it amd see if you can spot it

Hi there, when I bought my clio it had a pond in the well, a good 2" of water, for mine it was the boot lock hinge wasn't straight, so the boot hadn't been locking and shutting correctly

I realigned the lock and drilled an 6mm hole to the let the water out, been fine since 2 weeks ago now
