It's gotten to the point that it's rusted a few holes in my trunk, I can't seem to make it leak by spraying water at it from all directions, just after long heavy rains. Anyone know where it could me coming from? It's not that black vent.

Hope this helps

 

good find, that guy did a great write up.

 

What should I do about the holes in the trunk?

 

Do AP2s have this problem?

 

I had wet carpet in the bottom of my trunk. I never stripped the interior, but I don't have holes all the way through. My spare tools have spots of rust on them though.

 

I had about 3 inches of water sitting in my boot after the snow and ice melted from the car, turns out it was getting in from the aerial mount, you will need a circlip pliers or similar to unscrew it from outside the car, apply some black silicone to the seal and put it back together.

OP - with holes that big Id imagine cutting out the boot and welding another one back in could only save you, dont forget to treat the welds straight away to prevent the same thing happening again.

 

There's a great link in the FAQ showing common leaks. Some people get leaks around the vent behind the bumper cover. Another common one is clogged drains on the sinks at the edges of the convertible top - they overflow into the trunk. I had the slow/clogged drain problem, it was only apparent during a hard rain.

 

It must be that, I discovered it today when washing my car. Whenever water runs down the left side of the convertible top water starts to fill the trunk. I can barely see exactly where it's coming from so I have no idea how to fix it unless I remove the top or something/

 

It's dripping down from here somewhere, left side of the trunk behind the carpet.



Any ideas?
