Video transcript

0:00 Just a quick add on from a previous video. We do know that this is a common issue because we had a few come in previously. It's this rear tailgate rubber. It does take time for it to come in, but what it does is it sits in this corner here and then it slowly gets behind the back of the rubber.

0:20 If we just pull that off for a second, so we can see signs of dirt and water inside the rubber there. And as we can see, what it will do is it will follow this rubber down, get inside it. And then when it then comes all the way down here, we lift this bit up here, we can see that there's a welded seam here.

0:43 And what it does is the water actually deflects off of here and then comes down and will end up just running down into this section here. And so we've got evidence of water being under there. And if I just have a look under the rubber as well, so we can see that there's water been getting through there.

1:01 So we are probably advised cleaning that up and resealing that as well. But there we go.

This is the Toyota which has multiple leaks into the boot from brake light, locks, the stoppers and rear vents.

In this additional video, we show how water can get in past the main rubber that surrounds the boot. As you can see, it is dirty and has shrunk a little. We can clean and refurbish this using a rubber reviver, but in a situation where the rubber has badly perished it can be replaced for not too much money. See Part 1 of this video for more details.

Question: "My car is a similar model but not quite the same. Is it likely to have the same leaks as the one in the video?"

Answer: Highly likely, but maybe not. Often the leaks we find are common to lots of makes and models of cars, such as the door membranes or leaking back air vents. However, we are always finding unusual leaks and things we have never seen before. There's also the matter that cars tend to spring multiple leaks all at the same time, so it's best to have in inspection and find out.
