Hi i have noticed the spare wheel well on my 1999 focus has started to fill with water over the last few weeks of constant rain. even if i don't drive the car for a few days it still fills. Can anyone help please.

If it is the same as mondy behind false bulkhead it is most likely leaking from around the POLLEN FILTER HOUSING, standard feature on mondies, you have to pay extra for one that does not leak!!

Just check the seals on the back of the light clusters 2 make sure they arnt split or worn causing water 2 come in.

Wasnt there a recall on the rear window wiper seal? pretty sure it used to leak all the time so ford did a recall and replaced with a much stronger seal

Cheers for help.

The light seals sound a good bet as i have recently had to change my brake light bulbs.

Hi i bought my Focus brand new in 2001 and had the same problem, i had it back to the workshop 20+ times until the 3 yr warranty ran out and it still wasn't resolved and now it's 07 and i've still got a paddling pool in my boot, still great for those hot summer days if you fancy a paddle, i did consider drilling a hole and sealing it with tetroseal (do they still do that) so the water could just drain away, but then i thought it might create more problems than it cures... so i will be watching this post myself to see if anyone has any bright ideas

Don't know if this applies to Focus's but check your rear wash/wipe fluid piping - VW's and Skodas i know of have had thier boot full of water because of a broken pipe.

Cheers
