Water leaking into the boot?

[Andyb5tdi]

When I bought the car the previous owner told me the central locking pump had been submursed in water, having replaced the pump a few weeks ago I recently looked at the issue and it appears that water is running down the rear wing and going between the bottom of the wing at the bumper:

And comes into the boot through this hole:

Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening? (Is there something missing?

Many thanks

Andy

does your car have a sunroof? Might be blocked drains.

I think there might be supposed to be a grommet in that round hole.?

Mine let's water in from the rear light seals.

Nope no sun roof on this one, just out of interest did they ever fit cars with A\C & a sun roof?

Yes, viewed an R plate 1.8T with both climate an sunroof. I so wanted that car but it was a total dog in 3 different shades of silver with poor panel gaps and brass wood screws holding the arch liners on. :-(

Oh dear I've seen a few cars where the owners description far exceeds the car

Snap. "oh yeah she's mint mate" 300 mile wasted round trip

Had a similar issue on an old Yaris - turns out it was the seals on the rear lights.

My fix was clean up area where seal sits on the car and a bead of black sealant around the seal on the light, worked a treat!

It's a simple job to do/check - from memory 3 8 or 10mm nuts hold the light cluster on.

I think by default if you got AC the sunroof was removed, but you could pay extra to re-add it.
