Ford Fiesta rainwater finding its way inside the car ending up in the boot as well as under the carpets in the cabin area.
This is a video showing you where the water leak was actually found and where the water was getting into the car - it gets in through the seams around the boot. Possibly the welding is coming loose. It is fixed by sealing and won't need to be re-welded.
This seems to be a common cause of car water leaks on both Ford Focus and Fiesta.
Water in your car leads to mould, rot and corrosion. Up to a 3rd of the value of your car is the electrical systems, which are easily damaged by water and costly to replace.
Question: "I had my door apart to fix a water leak, now my electric windows don't work, could water be the cause?"
Answer: It isn't enough to find and fix the leak, you really need to dry the car, otherwise you have a damp environment that cause corrosion and electrical problems. Drying the car is an essential part of the process.
You had a rain water leak in your car, and you got it fixed. What next? It will dry out on its own right? Maybe you can just vacuum the carpets, and it will dry?
