Faulty Boot Seams? - ben. - 22:nd-Jan-2017 Good Morning (Just!) I recall reading somewhere that early Astra's have a problem with the boot seams failing but I can't locate it. Reason for asking is my Astra has water in the footwell which was partly due to the high level brake light, which is now changed. However I am still getting water in the boot after rain and it appears to be coming out the seam on the boot floor at the back. I suspect this as when I wiped the water away I could see a drop of water re-emerging through the seam. So I've got myself some potential options; 1. I'm trying a penetrating leak and crack finder which should cure it. 2. Get some seam sealer and clean the outside behind the bumper and cover the affected areas. 3. As I have only had the car 9 days I send it back to the dealership for them to sort? Car is 2011 2.0l CDTi SE Thanks, Ben. RE: Faulty Boot Seams? - Rusty2009 - 22:nd-Jan-2017 Yes there was a seem issue on early models. If you've only had it 9 days I would get the dealership to fix it. RE: Faulty Boot Seams? - ben. - 24:th-Jan-2017 Just to close this out, I smeared some silicon sealant over the seem and its been fine so far. Thanks |
