Are you sure the rubber seal around your trunk is water tight?

It was a hell of a force too.

I'm getting the bucket of water episode when car is washed or it rains 😏 I can see where you blow up, that's done but just where exactly are the inlet or outlets at the other end??

Why oh why did they make it so difficult 😡😡

Thx.

Recently, my car started depositing loads of water from the aerofoil area when opening the boot. I blew through the drain holes with compressed air. All seemed OK, but the water persisted.
So, today, I removed the boot liner as I was convinced that one of the tubes must be adrift. Sure enough, one was, it had come away from the grommet at the bottom edge of the boot.
Fitted it back on and all is well.
Be careful of the clips though, they may snap.

Removing the boot/trunk liner

ExSF you said - I removed the boot liner as I was convinced that one of the tubes must be adrift. Sure enough, one was, it had come away from the grommet at the bottom edge of the boot.
Fitted it back on and all is well.
Be careful of the clips though, they may snap. - any chance you could describe how best to take off/remove the Boot/Trunk liner. I TRIED PULLING THE "CARPETING" AWAY BUT NO LUCK. Any luck would be gratefully received.
