Toyota Aygo boot leak
Driving me mad - I am thinking it is water getting behind the boot lid
seal. The seal presses over the rim of the boot lid opening. I am thinking of pulling off the seal and putting a bead of silicone into the gripping U section of the seal and pressing it back on. Any thoughts? |

Spray the metal with wd40 before sticking the seal back on? So you can get it off when it doesn't work & you need a new seal or similar ... -- Jim K ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

There could be a very small weld/joint in the boot that is letting in water. Difficult to see. A spot of silicone on the weld/joint sorted it out. |

It might be a leak path from somewhere completely different. In the old days garages sometimes put an ultrasonic source inside the car and wandered around the outside with a detector. Interesting to see there are relatively cheap ones around now.

I recall seeing this many years ago when I was a car saleman at a VW dealership. I think I know where it is now - it is water passing into a channel in the seal section - and running round and then into the car. |

One thing worth remembering is that not all parts of a car are meant to be watertight. I had a 'leak' on an Audi A3 that was actually an intended drain, but the rubber drain grommet was blocked- the rear quarter had several inches of water in it that overflowed into the spare wheel well- removing the grommet and cleaning it stopped it. |

Yes this will work. I did this after many other attempts with other seals to no avail. Use plenty of silicone sealant and you will solve the problem

In my experience the only real solution is a new seal which are usually quite expensive new but perhaps not for Toyotas. The one for my Range Rover was an arm and a leg. |
