Got a prob with a mk4 escort help needed.

Hi all

The mk4 xr3i keeps getting water in the boot. All the rubbers are good, we just cant think where the water is coming in. Does anybody know? has any body had the same prob?

Kind regards sam

Sunroof drain tubes ,rear lamp seals ,strip the boot out of all carpets, get some one to jump in, then hose the vehicle off and you will see where its coming in

My mk6 does this too so I've scale rear lights only to find a couple of bungs are missing so check on the rear quarters mate for little holes

Had this a few years back with an xr3i and it turned out to be the rear light seals

Another place to check is if the car has a spoiler check how well it is attached as mine used to leak from there because it was bolted on but not sealed
