left the Tourer out and it rained. I had removed the off side roof rail and put seam sealer in the gutter and down the rear to the hatch and then once dry refitted the rail a week or so ago.

Opened tail gate a little while ago and a small pool of water greeted me on the off side.

Worse, it is still leaking around the rear nearside window. I was hoping I had sealed that as well.

At least I had not re-fitted all the trim but I'm still cheesed off.

Why the roof rail ? there is no through way there is there ?

Usual culprits are the waist trim holes.

My tourer leaked through the top of the rear window.... a bit of silicone sorted that.

Is there not a seam there? It can be seen just to the side of the tail gate hinge?

what are the waist trim holes? oh, waist, not waste.
I'll check them, cheers

Where exactly is the water found ?

Might be nothing like the leak on your Tourer, but have a look at this post. https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=251086

I had the devils own job finding it, but since I have done it, there have been no further leaks.

on the inside of the left hand rear side window and on the off side, I think as picture 1 in this thread that MWMan has given

post 4 in that thread may be the answer.
The plastic trim between the two hinges will break its tabs when removed but I think rimmers have them for about £10 plus vat and postage.

Another £10 but if it cures the leak it will be money well spent.
