Leaking Boot?

[Juz]

Hey Guys,

Im sick of having a dodgey car, now the bottom of my boot is a little rusty due to water getting in from the boot... now to fix the seals, do you guys have any idea where to and how to seal it up? sorry for the noob question obviusly some good silicon but do I just put it over the seals and let be or what?

more often than not the leak comes from around the tail light. you need to pull them off and reseal them. i think there is a write up about it on the forum somewhere.

This might sound a bit silly but one of the challenges is to identify exactly where the water is coming in.

I thought mine was leaking around the tail light so I took it out and resealed it but this did not stop the leak. I then replaced by bootlid with a GTR bootlid and the leak was gone. When I was swaping over the lock to the new bootlid I noticed a lot of dirt around the rubber seal (where the water was coming in) and after cleaning it up and installing it nice and tightly in the new bootlid all was good.

If I get any boot leaks in the future I will be doing the inside to boot with a torch trick while someone hoses down the car to identify exactly what I have to fix.
