Leon mk1 leaking water in boot

[Theniz]

Hi guys, does anybody have the similar problem with leaking water in boot from weld place which is coating with factory silicone. This silicone in my case is a lil bit cracked and water leaking from this place into boot.
I believe that someone asked this queston a time before, but I didnt found.

Tnx.

I had a similar problem. I scraped out the old sealant and resealed it and now it's all good.
Take a look at the photo I posted here:

What sealant you are use?
Its all about bad quality factory silicone which is on the same way because of age cracked out. I think there are more such places on the car that needs resealing. I also have problems with the water under the carpet on driver and passenger side.

I used U-pol Tiger Seal Polyurethane Adhesive Sealant. It seemed to do the job OK. I think there are more "professional" car sealants out there, but I don't think it matters too much when just repairing a very small crack.

Where is your leak starting ?

If the crack is very small then something like Captain Tolleys is a well respected liquid sealant that runs and creeps into the crack. Developed for boats! For larger splits any decent sealant will do, I've used CT1 which you can get at most DIY or builders it is a sealant and adhesive that stays fairly flexible.

Ok, great. Tnx for this info. I'll try.
