Rear Washer Leak Onto Parcel Shelf

[psycho_eric]

I took my elderly mother in law out in her 53 Focus for a quick spin, and on trying to use the rear screen washer it promptly squirted water out through the trim at the top of the rear screen and onto the parcel shelf.

 

I don't want her to get ripped off at a Ford dealer, but on removing the trim it appears that the pipe runs inside the tailgate and I dont know where to start to try to find the leak.

 

Any suggestions gratefully received!

I had a similar internal water feature on my 54 plate Focus.

 

If you open the boot and just prise down the rubber holding the roof lining up a little left of centre i.e. in line with where the pipe comes through to the boot, you will see where two pipes connect. Mine were disconnected so I just pushed them back together - job done.

 

Water can show in the funniest of places and be nowhere near the origin of the leak!

 

Good luck.

Thanks Pal - sorted!

I too had a similar problem but the connection came loose behind the top brake light. Took me forever to find my screw driver bit for that light argh!
