ford focus 14 plate leaking

aggi

also it seems that the water gathers somewhere and then while driving wobbles out into the boot. it comes out on the left side almost like it is coming from under the light but the light is not misted up. the joy...

Check the seal where the wiring for the lights leaves the body. Mine popped out and water flowed into the boot!

Given that OP needed help a year ago, I fear s/he has drowned by now.

Just got mental picture of someone driving down the road in a downpour sitting there as the car slowly fills up with water..

so we had look today and the boot was soaking, so it must be some time it was leaking but top layer was dry so no tell tell signs

checked the lights area and it all seems fine bit misty but i think it is condensation. it is all intact over the back wheel so not a scooby what is causing this leak

ford said £90 for just looking ��
i think i will give it to halfords autocentre and see if they fix it

could it be from under the bumper? someone gone into me 3 months ago but we just drove away as no visual damage. could this cause something dislocating and allowing enough gap for water to go through?[/QUOTE]

I would hedge a bet that a sealed seam behind the bumper has opened up from someone going into you. Bumpers tend to return to somesort of normal shape, and hide what damage there is to the rear valance and boot pan.


on a dry day, take off the bumper (theres easy to follow tutorials on youtube) and take a look at the damage. a seam or vent is broken i would put a bet on.

Is this car still in Halfords from a year ago?


Even they cant still be finding a list of work that needs immediate attention!

The stuff they fitted a year ago is now wearing out (honest, death trap mister) so is now being replaced.

The problem apparently is due to p1ss poor build quality and water runs down the tail gate and in through vents in the bodywork hidden behind the rear bumper.  These need to be removed, cleaned, and sealed back into position with silicon sealant.  Just discovered this and my 23 plate Focus has always leaked.
