Have a look at the rear light gaskets, I had water coming through these and running into the spare wheel well

Can these be fixed without replacing by cleaning them
Cheers

They are foam rubber which splits. I got new ones from Amayama in Japan (They are about £30 each in the UK)

I have ordered a pair today.
How long did they take to arrive?
Checked boot today and found water under Spare Wheel again
I dried the area and painted over with hammerite black paint.
I had treated with rust converter first.
Looks great just need to keep it dry until the gaskets arrive
Cheers
Paul.
