Description

Water leaking into your car boot every time it rains or after a car wash? In this video, I'll show you how to find the source of water leak, stop rainwater from entering the boot, and fix the problem permanently. We're also going to remove rust from the boot's floor, repair broken drain holes, and repaint the floor area. 0:00 Introduction 0:14 Finding the source of water leak 1:24 Diagnosing the cause of water leak 2:23 Fixing the water leak 4:27 Removing rust from car boot/trunk 7:12 Repairing drain holes 9:07 Applying primer 10:51 Applying paint 12:41 Applying silicone to drain holes 13:02 Reinstalling trim 13:16 Outro Tools & materials used in this video: Sandpaper - 60, 80 and 220 grit Metal wire brush Claw hammer: https://link.amazon/B0fQZdSMv Plier: https://link.amazon/B0hyY7xvY Machine screw New brake light wiring harness (Swift Dzire Type 1): https://boodmo.com/catalog/part-socket_cord_assy-6793203/ Vacuum cleaner: https://link.amazon/B00O767BI Red oxide metal primer Thinner Silver paint Black paint 25 & 50 mm paint brush Silicone sealant All the tools & products I use: https://linktr.ee/ShashantChoudhary Water in car boot is a common problem especially as the car gets older. It is primarily caused by one or more of the following three reasons: 1. Rubber seal on the brake light wiring harness comes loose due to broken retaining clips 2. The paste around the boot lining starts to crack allowing rainwater to enter inside 3. The rubber seal (weatherstrip) around the boot area starts tearing out. My video covers all three scenarios and shows you easy fixes for each one of them. If the leakage is not fixed, water starts accumulating into floor area of boot/dicky and causes rust. The rust quickly spreads and may cover the entire floor area. In my case, two of the drain holes had developed serious rust and were broken, and the entire floor area had surface rust.
