New Astra owner - robbo - 15:th-Oct-2019
Hi Folks.
Just bought myself a 2012 1.7 cdti SE sports tourer.. loving it so far. I've always had Vauxhall's going back to mk2 Cavaliers and owned Zafira's for the last 12 years.
Got a bit of water in the boot, looks like it's coming from the tailgate so I'm looking for some hints.

I've heard of water ingress on the 5 door hatch, but not aware of any issues with the tourer. I've certainly not any problems with mine (so far) but if I had to start looking, I'd suspect the lights or the tailgate seal

Welcome, and as above as nitram says, best place to start.

Thanks both for the welcome.. It was coming from the high level brake light. I removed and resealed it with silicone which appears to have cured it.

That's a good result , a free repair.
