Bro. es2611, funny thing is when you use hose is not the same as rain woh!. I had issue of water leak before and going to mechanic use hose cannot trace. One time heavy raining remove internal panel and trace, and finally found it....my car got that problem last time and only realized when i wanted to send it for painting.
went inside the boot and let another friend wit hose to simulate rain but no nothing!
i opted to change the entire boot rubber seal and extra sealant (cant remember the brand) applied by the painter and solved the problem.
cant really tell what went wrong but he believed the rubber "terkelepet" if the boot is closed. sorry cant find the english word for it.
taikor vr2.. thats the best to simulate rain. otherwise i cant find the right time to be in the rain and in the boot to trace it. haha.Bro. es2611, funny thing is when you use hose is not the same as rain woh!.

And at times the leak can be form another part and got led to another place.....:rolleyes:
Yah! true also. Got one time leak only when car is parked slightly sloping. Really difficult to check...taikor vr2.. thats the best to simulate rain. otherwise i cant find the right time to be in the rain and in the boot to trace it. haha.
that being said.. solved it without knowing the real problem
If lucky, go and get some movie directors rain simulator n try it outtaikor vr2.. thats the best to simulate rain. otherwise i cant find the right time to be in the rain and in the boot to trace it. haha.

most of the time its the rear windscreen.as its sloped,water flow down so fas thay it wont leave a trace.I used to drive 1st gen also, due to water leaking into cabin problem i sold my car. At spare tires area mostly is from the rear light, when u take out the rear light from ur body u notice there is a foam gaskets it might be harden so cant really block water from leaking in.
I face another major leaking is the water all over my cabin. i tot is my aircond water leak. Then found out is when i do the water test at my foreman workshop he use the holes to test at the car roof and funny thing is water come out from the back seat beam totally no idea how the water from top go to the bottom beam. I think might be the original body welding break or something else. so at the end sell it
As mentioned water flow with gravity, so when coming from one area it can divert if there is some connection and it will lead to another place. That is why i mention must look out from where it comes from...:hmmmm:I used to drive 1st gen also, due to water leaking into cabin problem i sold my car.

Agree, but the beam structure look like those bridge connect from left to right side door. So water from the roof dont know how to slip in alot. The beam is to secure the back seat clip.As mentioned water flow with gravity, so when coming from one area it can divert if there is some connection and it will lead to another place.
