Leaking Boot

Hi everyone,

I've just bought a 2008 mk4, but noticed there's a leak into the boot, not a huge amount but it definitely present when lifting up the carpet. Is this a common problem due to the boot size and is there a way of fixing this?

Thanks

Andy

    I can narrow down which side it's from so that should make it easier ... but knowing my luck nothing is ever that easy

    The reward is a bone dry car. Now the mist is on the outside and not the inside :)

    Water was leaking in on the right side. 5 buckets of water I figured it was a seal issue, went to Ford and they said there was a TSB for the leak and supplied 2 seals which fit onto the boot lid. They seemed shocked it hadn't been done sooner
