Make sure you dry out the boot beforehand to positively identify where leak presents itself. On a good dry day get a good torch,climb into boot and have a helper mist spray water over the rear area's of the car and you'll no doubt locate the leak. I have removed the boot seal rubber before and smeared RTV sealant around the boot seal flange and into the mount grove on the boot seal rubber then refitted the seal rubber back onto the flange (clean up any excess RTV before it sets!) Worked well for a persistant leak I had in a Cressida years ago, never leaked again after that excercise.Ĭheck the rear window to see if it's seal isn't can happen and it's possible too for rust to form in the window glass aperture and let water in that way. Other than that I'd say it's either a defective boot seal rubber or the body flange the boot seal rubber mounts onto is compromised by a rust spot letting water through! ![]() ![]() Also check for defective body flange joints, the seal product can fail over time.
