Wheel well in the boot leaking

jungle-mania · Post by **jungle-mania** » Mon Jan 21, 2013 12:02 am

Anyone has any idea how to stop the leaking in my wheel well? My boot area is still dry, but the recent non stop rain has caused my wheel well to be flooded, I think I had close to 2 litres of water on Saturday after 1 day of driving.

Water leaked from the tail lights, theres rubber seals on the inside of the tail lights, expose the 3 screws, tighten from the booth area.

I had a leak in the boot for my second ES...

Solution: Weld the metal seams gao gao. Expensive, but works!

@fred, it is about 2 litres of water, can that much flow through there?
@krado, where are the seams?

Our es booth rubber trimmings are aleast more den 1/2" high no chance of rain water can seep in unless some blockages on the drainage and your booth lip is not tight on the trimmings.

The wheel wells are the lowest part of the booth, water will collect there definitely, check your tail light, theres a flat piece of rubber seal that seals the body work opening for bulbs to be mounted from the light casing, when it is loose water will stream in thru the carpet board casing, tru the booth board to your wheel well without any trace.

The screws of the tail light must be tighten for the rubber seal to work if not water will enter from the top of your booth where the light is into the booth tru the bulbs opening.

No chance for water to splash from the bottom to enter the booth. Trust me I lived in the booth for quite a while.

If you can live with the litres of water in the well try keeping fishes as well run a pump system and filter.

Bro KRADO wants you to weld the booth shut.

I followed Fred's advice, got it fix! Although the car is with my friend, I do check the car from time to time for him.
