Water in spare wheel well

[Ollieh17]

Noticed water in the back after stripping it out?!?! Any idea where it could be coming from, already removed grommets and put sealant on them already?

[fremyjay]

ive had the same sitting behind my rear passenger light, keep drying it up and selaed everywhere still cant seem to find it

[daniel_g]

I had it in my old GT, i reckoned it was coming in the rear windows because it felt that they were never fully shut. Never got round to fixing it though. Tiny puddle in the 85 boot aswell ghrrr :/

[Ollieh17]

Is it likely to cause alot of problems? Like rust etc?

[daniel_g]

If you leave it sitting there then yeah it'll eventually rust. For now ive just taken the grommet out because my car is off the road but i'll need to look into it.

Check all around the rear lights, bet it'll be comin in through there.

[morgey]

not quite the same but my bother had a crx that was leaking, he had to cut a few little notches out the bottom of the rubber seal around the boot to let the water out of it, other wise it filled up and leaked inside the car.

might be something to consider

[Ollieh17]

Will have a look at the weekend...explains the car getting so fogged up

Theres some rubber grommets behind the rear lights, its those that leak generally.

[Ollieh17]

I had a quick look and looks like its coming from under the rear plastics by the drivers side rear window? Suppose that could be fed from the rear light. Will check out these grommets and put some extra sealant around them.

[AdamB]

You can tell if its coming from the light cluster. If you look in the boot under where the light sits, you can see the rubber grommet, it kinda thins out to a point where it gets pushed through. Mine had water/droplets on the tip of this rubber.

If its coming from the window area I would probably guess its a poor sealing rubber on the window, although I would expect the water to head down into the inner arch or the rear seat well if it was coming from there.

tip sit in boot get a friend if possible to spray the back of the car with a pressure washer or hose pipe and see where it coming in from

[jayc-glanza17]

I had this issue two years ago in my glanza..

its the rear passenger lights, the rubber seal leaked, put a new set of lights on I found down scrappy, and hasn't leaked since.

Try taking the rear lights out and buying a tube of black silicone sealant from a motor factors or halfrauds, Clean up the original seal and the paint where the light seal pushes up to the car. Then on the original seal put a even amount of silicone around, and refit your lights.

[Ollieh17]

Tried everywhere with a hose...no leaks. Turned out it was coming up through one of the grommets in the back, so re siliconed that and alls okay

[Gainzy]

Buy some masking tape and stick it in places where you think it's getting wet first bit that gets wet trace it back that's what I did

[Liam_D]

Mine slighty lets water in through the drivers rear light unit somewhere?

[Glanza-Ben]

I got this, just drill a hole in the boot then it runs out job done
