C5 2.0 HDi 2003 - leaking hatchback

Unread post by C5 in Yorkshire »

I've owned this car for 5 years. It has been very reliable and trouble-free. It is still a pleasure to drive but it is now letting in rainwater which forms a deep puddle in the space where the spare wheel is stored. Is this a known problem? Does anyone know where the water is likely to be entering?

No sunroof. Just the standard 5 door hatchback.

Check the rubber seals on the tailgate and also the fitment of the rear light units, they can allow water to seep in in wet conditions.
