Guest Elwood Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 Ok, got this problem where water is spilling from my tail gate, only happes after a rain tho so i guess it's water ingress from somewhere. Anyone seen this b4 any ideas? Quote
Guest fredt Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 Water gets into the hatch via either around the washer jet or wiper spindle, behind the back of the Ford badge, behind the number plate and the rear reflective panel, around the cable grommets, around the door handle or from a bad seal on the glass! or it could be washer fluid! there you go that should get you started! happy leak hunting Quote
MrT Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 Is is dripping out of the gate? Sometimes rain can run down between the gate and the body (where it is meant to) to and pool on the top of the rear bumper, but outside the car, especially if the car is facing forwards down a slope. When you open the gate it can splash you. Water often hides between the number plate and the body after washing so as soon as you have polished the car and shut the tailgate it runs all over the bumper and lower tailgate. Quote
Guest Elwood Posted September 18, 2004 Report Posted September 18, 2004 Thankyou fredt, that is certainly a list... MrT, it leaks when you open the tailgate, comes dripping out of that little hatch where u can change the bulbs.. Quote
