I have exactly the same problem but can't work out where the leak is occurring. Did you work out where the leak was and was it an easy fix? Had all carpets up as soaked through. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Andy |
You need to check the seam in the outer body shell running under the roof rail mount along the roof and down the back of the body shell by the main hinge for the tailgate. Mine had this exact fault, it was Pi**ing water like a tap down the inside of the rear pillar when I ran a hose over the roof. The water was then running under the boot floor, wicking down the insulation under the back seat into the footwell. I used a wet vac to pull over a litre of water out of the footwells before the carpets etc were taken out and dried etc.
