Wet boot...

[fergus3060]

I'm getting a wet carpet right in the bottom of my boot. Any ideas where the ingress may be coming from? I havent had the time to investigate too thoroughly, I guess it could be the boot lid seal isn't too good, but nothing in the boot itself seems wet, only the carpet at the very bottom, which would imply its coming up from below... Any thoughts?

Had the same problem a while back. Turned out to be the seal around the light fittings.
It was only identified when Adrian at Central TVR put a very small person in the boot and doused the rear end with a hose!
He keeps a lad on the payroll just for that purpose.
Hope you get it fixed

as above - check sealant around lights

Make sure you use something like Sikaflex not silicone sealant. Took me two attempts to get it leak free..doh!

There is also a 4" grommet in the middle of the boot floor which could have perished, it's best accessible from underneath.
