Default leaky bootlid

my bootlid is somehow collecting water and then it dribbles into the boot when I open it. Has anybody had this and have you been able to fix it.

I don't think it's from the spoiler, a mate didn't have a spoiler on his and it still leaked. Could it be the garnish, how do the seals look on your cars?

My boot has never leaked, and i've got a wing, the seals are good, have you dared taken it thru a car wash? be able to pinpoint just where its leaking...

ebxr82nv, click the link > http://fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11233020

I had this problem also and rectified it with helpful advice from other Members.

I haven't had a drop of water in bootlid since.

Cheers, Adam.
