307 water in spare tyre wheel well

anyone else noticed any water in the 307 spare tyre well & what causes it?


A leak!!

Try aiming a hose at the rear, from the top of the tailgate, and have someone inside watching for water entry. Usual suspect points are the tailgate seal, the rear lights or a badly made body seam. Maybe the glass seal or round where the wiper comes through the glass. It may take a while for the water to get through where ever, so maybe rest the hose on the roof, aimed at the rear. DON'T squirt hard! Just gentle running water should be sufficient.
