It's running through from there, down onto the floor, and finding the lowest point, under the passenger seat


Dried everything thoroughly, put a lot of J-cloths there, and it rained quite hard that night - cloths saturated in the morning. So it appears to be coming in from the top, somewhere around the hinge of the tailgate (is that what you call a hatchback's boot lid?).

I've put the hose all over the place with the (conveniently small) girlfriend in the boot, but we can't see where it's coming in.


So... we think it's all happening behind this trim panel, so I need to get it off to watch when the hose is applied. Only problem is, I have a serious tendency to break things... I know it's not a Rover, so you may not have direct experience of it, but is there a typical way panels like this are attached? If I just start pulling at it, I know what will happen

Hi Roger

OK, so my son has an Insignia and I have been watching this thread, but as your puddle was under the front passengers seatI kept quiet.
However now you shown this pic, I will try to help.


My son had a wet rear passengers seatbelt, only found out when 4 of us got in the car.

Did the work over a weekend, you will need a few new plastic clips, I'll look for the part nos and post back. Took our time, cleaned everything to an inch of it's life and Plumbers Gold sealant.

6 months o and all is still dry
