Water leak into boot/rear seat
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2024 1:19 pm
Hi all,
Hope all are well.
Got a 2003 5 door Polo. Suddenly it is leaking water into the boot and rear seat base. Its all down the passenger side only.
At first, I thought it was just the washer fluid pipe which has join in the passenger side of the boot, as I could smell the washer fluid, so pulled down the carpet and reconnected the washer hose.
I cleaned and dried the seat and the boot.
But a few days later it has got wet again. No smell of washer fluid and the connection is intact.
I have checked the roof aerial base seal, which was changed a few years ago and it seems ok. There is no staining on headlining either.
I have run water over the rear passenger door seal and nothing obvious looks to be leaking.
I have had the rear passenger side light filling with water, I bought a new (Alibaba) bulb holder as the old one had corroded, but it was not any good and it filled with water again, so bought a used (original) rear light and it still did the same thing. So, I drilled a few holes in the bottom of the light.
Anybody had a similar issue or know what else I could investigate?
Any help is appreciated.
