Water in the boot..............

Supercharged591 · Apr 19, 2013

I,m getting Water in the boot when its rained and I open the boot(Trunk).
There are two plastic trays either side that "TRY" and catch the water but it misses 50%.
Has anybody else had this and is the price I have to pay for a folding roof ?
I must add its the first time its rained in the 3 weeks since I bought it and I had some files in the boot(Trunk) which subsequently got wet !

It's a quirk I think, if there's a lot of water then opening the boot slowly does help, it's rare I get anything in the boot wet though.

agree, quirk. if there is a lot of water and you open the trunk quickly, water will fall into the trunk. do you park outside? any leave possibly in the runoff channels?

Thanks guys , will open slowly in future , no leaves in channels I think it's because I opened it quickly

My boot area stays dry also. Additionally, you may need to check the rain leaders (hoses) that directs the water outside of the vehicle. You have one each for the plastic tray and also one on the left and right underside of the trunk lid seal. The drain holes can clog which may contribute to you issue.

It could do with a slightly larger tray IMO

I hate it when I get water in my boot too. My socks get all squishy.

I do have to clean water spots off some the plastic areas in "the boot" sometimes but it never seems to be that bad. I also think you might want to check the drain holes in the area.
