Heavy rain overwhelms the boot seal and water can leak in under the fitting surface against the metal rim. My ZT V8 has a hidden factory fitted drain (under the battery plate in the boot), which speaks volumes for the confidence of the engineers at Rover in solving what was clearly a problem well known to them  Nevertheless, without that drain, I would have had a swimming pool inside. |
Boot drain? My ZT260 saloon let water into the boot via the l/h rear light cluster seal (the 2 part item). It became a Olympic size swimming pool. After I got the water out I noticed a circular blue bung let into the boot floor pan. No hole in it though, so no water egress......simples!
My 44 year old Triumph has a rubber holed bung in case of water ingress but it has never leaked in my 34 year ownership.

p.s. Anyone know where to get a 6 cd-changer unit?
