    Default water in tailgate/boot, estate. not washer related – 23-11-2014,09:32 PM
    Hello
    I have had a look for posts relating to water into boot/tailgate, everything points to the wiper/washer feed.

    it is an estate car and has water in the void between outer and inner metal work.
    I have checked the washer feed pipe and cannot find any leaks, also tired watering down the boot to check the light seals and screen seal.

    The only thing i havent been able to check is the high level brake light unit, anyone know how to remove this?


    The water is internal to the tail gate and when you open it drips from behind the boot card.

    Wiper motor? Water travels through motor to centre of spindle.
