MK3 Mondeo. Water Getting into My Boot
Hi guys ive been a long time lurker but ive got a problem with water getting into the boot and it is really starting to annoy me.
I have sealed around the n/s/r light cluster and bumper bolts. Ive also replaced the rear washer jet with a new one. as this was quite loose. But im still getting water coming in in the rear nearside part of the boot just below the rear n/s light cluster but behind the side carpet. I can not find where its coming from.
When I replaced the rear washer jet I also checked all the rubber harnesses between the upper body of the car and where it enters the top of the tailgate and they all seem ok.
Its getting that way where it looks like I wil have to live with this water leak as its really starting to annoy me, and I can not think of anything else to do, as I think ive exhausted all options, apart from packing the area with aload of kitchen roll to soak it up

My Mondeo was leaking in the same place but i siliconed sealed the two rubber seals,at the top of tailgate and the washer jet and it stopped leaking.
Have you removed the wheel arch carpet and checked or siliconed all the metal panel joins as i have found in past cars some aren't sealed at the welds.

I had exactly this on my first mk3 mondeo. It was the rubber grommet that has the wiring in it for the boot. Water was coming through there, running over the top of the headlining, down the side and coming out under the side trim next to the light cluster. Popped the grommet out, bit of silicone round it, never leaked again.
