    My Boss has a Polo on a '03 plate which is suffering from a VERY wet boot and wheel well. What Should he look out for as the main cause of this water getting it?

    Cheers

    Main culprit I believe is rear light seals on those!

    I dought the seals are that expensive, it does fill the boot in spectacular fashion when they let water in though!

    can also be a rough bugger who changed a bulb in the past has pulled the clip on the body work
    this causes a gapbetwwen seal & body, take light out (wing nut from inside, and pull up & out)

    can be fixed by knocked back flat
