Water in the boot

80Sprint · Dec 5th, 2021, 14:14

My 66 Amazon has water in the boot every time it rains and it's left on the drive. I can see exactly where it is getting in but not how to stop it. It enters in the corner of the boot where the wheel arch meets the rear wing panel. I chipped away a bit of the original seam sealer and it comes in from here every time. I have put sealant on the screen surround all round and on the horizontal trim between the rear screen and the side window (2 door). No improvement at all.

I can only think his leaves the side window or lower side trim ? I would have thought the side window would not send the water that side of the arch into the boot, not sure.

If anyone has had a rear wing removed would you know the likely entry point of water to this corner and would it be single skinned in this area where it joins the rear arch in the boot ?

Thanks for any suggestions where i look next...
