Damp boot

[wuffy]

Hi guys, noticed a few months ago that my boot carpet was damp on the passenger side, so looked on here and saw on other threads that it might have been the drain pipe that comes from the sunroof? I thought id wait till the weather got warmer to take all the cr@p out of my boot and have a better look and sort it out, i looked in the first aid cubby hole in the boot as I could see it looking a bit mouldy and found that it was soaking wet inside



Also the plastic trim where the parcel shelf hangs onto was also mouldy



Could it be the drainage pipe from the sunroof or could water be coming in from elsewhere? the radio ariel base has seen better days and is a bit cracked and dried out, but I cant see any staining/water marks on the roof lining? Have you guys got any ideas where its getting in? Sorry about the cr@ppy phone pics.

Cheers

wuffy.

Other possibility is the rear quarter window seals, quite common actually as the OE seal was s**t
Take all the surrounding trim off, remove plastic window studs, remove exterior weather strip, pop window out, run a bead of silicon round and then refit
I'll be doing this soon so will go pics

how do you remove the exterior weather strip before you remove the window ?

By having a dickhead of a car body sprayer who made up re-installing the interior as he went along and arsed it all up?
