Water In Bootwell

[Dony]

Hi everyone.

Has anyone experienced water appearing in their bootwell on Is200. In my case its the right hand one. If I dry it up it just re-appears after a few weeks if it has been raining. Its not a lot of water but enough to probably start corrosion if left unchecked. Thought it could be a problem with rear screen seal but it seems to be fine.Maybe someone has some ideas?

Thanks in advance....

check the sunroof drain that exits the wheel arch/bootwell pocket on that side

Hi Dony

Had the same problem as yours. If you lift up the boot liner on the right hand side and look for the black or white plastic vent you will probably find that this is where the water is getting in. The best way to check is to use a hose pipe and direct water over the joint where the bumper meets the rear wing. You should notice a small trickle of water coming from the outside of the vent. I just got some silicone sealant and sealed all the way round the outside.I've not had a problem since.HTH, Moody.

Saw the topic title, wondered where Bootwell was. Thought it might be near Tewkesbury.

(apologies, I've had a few to drink...)

Cheers moody! That sounds like a good theory. I'd say yr right. Time to get squeezing on the silicone gun!!
