Geastb 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'm getting water in my tailgate - i've no idea where its coming from - can't see any leaks. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
28v6r 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 What makes you think that it's the tailgate?? Usually it's the light clusters that loose their sealing ability, has the car been rear ended at all?? Check the gaps either side of the tailgate to see that they are even, Is the Hatch itself sitting proud or high? There are stops on the tailgate that can be adjusted to bring the tailgate lower to the bodywork, try them, if not have a look behind you light clusters, they may need reasealed.

Geastb 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 The reason i know its the tailgate is that the water drips out of the tailgate when i lift it up. I've taken the panel that covers the wiper motor off and water drips out of the holes.As far as i can tell the car hasn't been tailended Link to post Share on other sites

Geastb 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 clutching at straws' date=' but is the spoiler loose?[/quote']I was wondering weather the water was coming thru this somehow. It seems tight but i might take it off and re-seal it. How do i get it off? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 The 2 black rubbers on the inside of the tailgate should twist and wind in and out.Geastb - is your rear washer jet working? Check the pipes are secure inside the tailgate. Link to post Share on other sites
