Boot damp...rear light leak?

[jim91]

Jim, ref the lights, I put the sealant along the top and sides of the lights, not on the bottom. Don't overtighten the nuts, they can snap, I did this on two of mine and had to replace the light!
!

It's defo from the lights, can see it drip down from the bolts, might remove again and silicone around the bolt holes.
Did you put seal over the old one or on top of it if you get what I mean (ie between the old seal and the light)???

Yes mate left the original seal in place and siliconed on top.

It's maybe not lights.
I've tried that to no avail. (It didn't work). Try it first though.
What I've done is seal the spoiler and boot lock (it seems to have worked).
Also seal the gas struts where they are attached to the car body.
I loosened the rear spoiler and put a bit of sealant under before retightening.
We have had snow and rain since and the boot is now dry.

Hope this helps.

Head to Amazon and search for Butyl Tape. They have some 6x8 mm x 8m rolls. I'm giving it a go on my tail light at the weekend..
