Boot full of water, footwells, seats wet

[Ann]

Hi. not been on here for ages, had a lot going on. Hope all is well.

Basically my passenger footwells, front and rear was literaly like a pond. The drain under the wiper blades was blocked, so i unblocked it, and all the water drained through.Hope this sorts the front pond out.

Mike noticed under the back seats was soaking, so emptied the boot, and the wheel well was literally FULL of water, we made a drainage hole as was only way to shift it all.

Where could that water be coming from? I have read to check Arial base seal but I don't think the roof is damp,

behind the left tail light, at the bottom is a flap, a water hose test looks like water is coming through that flap, but its too wet to really tell right now, where else could the water be coming from to fill the boot up like it did?

Never known anyone with the perished Ariel seal to have had a wet roof lining, mine included. It runs down the cable/washer pipe then drips on to the inside of the C Pillar and down the inside of the bodywork.

My spare wheel well was full with water when I got the car. Drained it. A few weeks later I changed the rear quarter glasses for the chromed ones, on doing so, the old ones weren't sealed properly, letting water in. All is still dry now, and the rain we've had the last couple of days would've shown up any leak

Mine a saloon, not a hatch, sorry didn't think to say, so don't think this is a window issue?

it doesnt look like its dripping down from the top though, on mineit looks like it comes from the back of the wheels arch, I will check my arial base tonight though, will have a better look in the day

Thanks for the replies.

That is exactly the route mine was getting into the boot.

Mine is also leaking from somewhere and is damp in the cubbys in the boot where would it be leaking from doing my head in as the rear quarter get fogged up and u can see water on the inside also rear window fog up all the time so do the rear door windows
