Water leaking under back seat

[Jonny crumley]

The pins just make it more secure by holding the light in the correct mounting position. The screw inside the boot is the main fixing point though. Don't over tighten the screw either, because this can cause the light lense to crack.

Took light shell out give it a quick clean then it lashed down so had to put it back as quick as i could only had it out for few mins but took that pic any ways thats the grommet isn't it that cable

That's the main seal with the cable through it... Yours looks on place (mine was out completely)

There also the 2 small grommets on the side where the light curves round. The 2 locators on the light push into those ( mine also had a grommet missing )

If all those are in place, then I'd say it must be leaking somewhere else.

Ran hose over rear light an checked inside car found that it was dripping in Down that area

Then ran a hose at the bottom of boot where the rubber is an it soaked in to the car so do I need new rubber

That's behind the rear light water was dripping down I think the water getting in from the rubber seal that goes round the boot Maybe like

Sounds like the seal is bad alright. Does it look bad, like any splits, cracks or chunks missing?

Not 100% but I'd say theres probably is. But does SEAT Still stock them? there probably about £65 to £70 there i hope if I get a new one it stops the leak wouldn't wamms get new one an it still leaked but definitely looks like its the a worn rubber

The green arrows is around the light area inside the boot & Its dripping down there also but the red arrows is the boot seal where its dripping in to aswell so I'm thinking ALL the problems Are coming from the boot seal???

Looks that way. Hopefully the new seal will do the job, fingers crossed.

Can't notice any breaks on the rubber but I hope that a new one stops it if not I don't no what to do next
