A couple of Questions

Hi there, I've got a little bit of water getting into my boot hatch (Which then leaks onto my Parcel shelf when I open the boot) and I think it is probably getting in Via the following places?? I'm just wondering if there should seals or Blanking grommits where I have Holes (See photo's below)


The hole is hidden


Not a good photo….you can just make out the hole just above the Rubber seal on the right hand side


Also Can someone tell me exactly where the rear Washer bottle pipe runs from the bottle end??

Should have rubber boot like the other side.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Does this also apply to the hole where my finger is (Top photo) This hole is actually on the Boot hatch, rather than the car???

Not sure about S1 but S2 have the rubber boot you can see on both sides. From memory one carrys the HRW/RWW wires and the other the RWW water pipe.

Also! the boot seal should also be sealed itself along the top edge to stop water getting around the lip that goes around the metal flange of the car. On mine it looked like the factory had poured a hot tar like substance along the top.  :dontknow:

As far as I know the heated rear screen wire in the first photo should go through the inside of the tailgate ware the small hole is. I think it should then go through the rubber tube and then behind the headlining. The rear waser pipe goes down the inside of the tailgate on the right side through the rubber tube behind the headlining down the right side c pilar then into the rear washer pump. Hope this makes sense.
