It could be the cable entry plate which is under the tail gate trim. this is the likely cable entry point for the tow bar electrics. if it not sealed it can allow road spray in.Originally posted by fireflyjust had a tow bar fitted and when we lifted the boot carpet the off side rear corner was wet, had a look under the wheel arch no signs of anything, checked the off side rear window seals and all looks ok, did notice the rear window seal inside wasnt fitted all the way down correctly but looking at the car with the window up and everything shut carnt for the life of me think how water has got in that way. any ideas or has anyone had a similar prob any advise woiuld be ace as i want a beast of a car not an fish tank...ScubaSurf

cheers the cable entry poin he used was on the opposite side so thats a no no, will check the body mounts tonite when i have a spare bit of time at work..., i think koi may have it though the seal at the BOTTOM ot the tail gate is loose in the right hand corner where the water was so gunna stick that on with silicone and see if these things do the trick
