Moss Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I have a 2002 Subaru Legacy Outback AWD. UK Car .. Now with all this wind and rain we've been getting lately; I noticed that I have a small amount of water in the Boot (trunk) is seems to be coming in from the top light area on the tailgate ,, all seals appear to be in tact etc...Has anyone else experienced this?

Greenmamba Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Have you got a sunroof, if so the drain/s may be blocked or separated. When you say the "top light" - do you mean the high level brake light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Or your rear wash wiper feed tube may have split ? Mine used to get wet in the centre of the boot couldn't work out where it was coming from until I sat in there and someone operated the washer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moss Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Someone also mentioned that The light bar may need removing and re-sealing. Your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moss Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 It's definitely coming in through the high-level-rear-brake-light. could it be the wash-wipe tube or sun roof drain? or possibly the light fitting itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Until you take it apart in wouldn't like to say, there should be a gasket round the light so maybe that's perished, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moss Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Until you take it apart in wouldn't like to say, there should be a gasket round the light so maybe that's perished, I'm waiting for some really dry weather to take it apart. It rained yesterday and last night and it was dry in boot. if it is a leak from somewhere it has to be a very small one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moss Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Fri found a 5" deep puddle in my boot floor the other day tracking from rear lights Oh no, seems the lights on the Subaru's have a seal deterioration problem; lots of owners having the same problem. 5" of water Matt; you could keep Goldfish in there. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I got my drill out and put 4 holes in the floor lol My leak is very small ; just a few droppers of water; I'm thinking it may be the wash-wiper tube off or cracked? I hope so anyhow.
