Hi,
Maybe you have some water coming from ventilation grills? Do you have much water there in the boot corner?
The best way to see is to go to a car wash, sit in the boot and see where is the water coming from....... Did you make any check like this?
But it's so f...g cold out there.....-20C
I still have a little leak from somewhere on top, and i suspect hinge because I could not seal it completely.
I will renew my works on that issue in spring.....now i just don't care
 
hey , no its not the ventialtions grill, and its not much water , but not much is even to much :). u dont see anything because u cannot see the place where its leaking too less space to look ... its behind c-pillar , but not from above!!! there were leaks from above but i finally fix them ... it was the hinge

now im guessing the water must come from wheel arch, dont want to remove the bumper ... did you ever removed your bumper ? dunno how i manage this ... its a shame that such a nice car is leaking that much ... im so dissapointed
 
My problem is solved,look in to the post # 98 at last 2 pictures,there was my problem, 1 cm of missing sealant.And no i didnt remove the bumper completely just i pull that corner from the suport.
First my problem was like in the post #95 but i put sealant inside the hinge like in first picture from post #98.
Where u find the water ,maybe u can put some pictures here,it will help us.

Check the ruber from the ventilation from this pictures and there is enough place to look in the place u say look t me.

yeah ok , its a big act ... i have to remove the whole coverpanel in inside the boot right ?

i thought its just 2-4 screws only in wheel arch ? ... wont remove them completely (the bumper)
 
Yes u have to remove the coverpanel inside the boot and to remove the bumper even just a little u have to unscrew those 4 screws from inside the boot and those under the bumper.
 
hmm ok ... sounds like much work :(

before i will do it , i will seal under those ventilation grill .... that sealing seems suspicous ...
 
water is gathering there ! where it comes from is not visible :( (i took your pic and edit it) hope its ok ! that red circle



did you SEAL also here from inside ? red line (arrow)



tomorrow i can make original fotos if it helps

yes , and not once ... 4 times already ...

and i saw the holes you mentioned earlier in this thread ... i sealed them ...
 
Seems i got the same. Tried to seal everything. pouring normally water - it's dry. If it rains - it's wet. Very strange......:(

I've read on forums that there could be also a problem with the radio aerial. But in that case you would have your roof covering wet....

I'm gonna continue my investigation.....
