It looks as if it comes in from the 2 cutaway either side of the lock. Any idea where the leak could be & what I need to do to stop this happening. Thanks

Go on... buy a rusty one. lol Posts: 1,809 Group: Members Member #3,843 Joined: February 17, 2009	could either be the boot lock seal, the spoiler attatchment bolt seals or the c pillar trim leaking... but as said by Stu, there have been loads of threads on this problem, it is prob just a case of trial and error, but by the end, you should have fixed all possible leaks. mark
