Ford Focus 2007 | Water Leak Boot Hinges | #FordFocusLeaks

💧 Here we have a Ford Focus at New Again with a rain water leak problem this is another common fault due to the age of the car when the car is flexing it can open up welds and under further investigation it has had repair work done due to an accident to the rear of the car. But sometimes it can just be a tiny bit of flexing when going round corners and roundabouts.

Solution: Our solution will be to remove old sealant, prime and reseal welds.

This is just one of several common problems on the Ford Focus which causes rain water leaks into the boot. We have another video which shows the problem with the rear vents behind the bumper:

The videos shown on this channel are taken from inspection reports, filmed for the customer who has paid for a diagnostic inspection, which comes with a video report. We share them here for informational purposes because the hardest part of fixing leaky cars is finding the leak.

After the initial inspection, if the customer agrees to have the work done, we film progress reports for the customer and will sometimes include them here.

F E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S

Q: How much does it cost?
A: We don't know. That's why we do a diagnostic inspection. We cannot answer the question of how much it costs to fix before we know the extent of the problem. Prices for our inspection and hourly rates can be found on our website.

Q: Why don't you show us how to fix it?
A: This isn't a DIY channel, we are sharing videos we take for the customer as part of our inspection process. Furthermore, the vast majority of the fixes are simple, and if you need to ask how to fix them, you probably should let a professional deal with it. See below:

⚠️ C A U T I O N ⚠️

⚡ Electricity and water is a dangerous combination. This is especially the case with electric and hybrid cars, but most modern cars have electronic control units in areas which are prone to water ingress. These are easily damaged and can be expensive to replace.

💥 Areas that need to be accessed to fix water leaks may contain airbags. These are explosive and can be quite sensitive. Tampering with them could lead to serious injury.

☣️ Cars that have been damp for a prolonged period often contain mould, mildew and dangerous bacteria. Mould spores can seriously affect the health of people with asthma, the old, very young, and people with compromised immune systems. Mould should always be taken seriously.

If you dont show how to fix what is the point in this video?? This is a major common fault with ford focus, so stop trying to be money grabbers and show people how to fix and just for the record if thats your attitude towards people about not showing them how to fix it please tell us where you are based and what company it is so we can all avoid you!!!

For anyone else still having water leaking after trying this, check under the plastic roof runners, pull the end up and there will be a crack under it, i sealed the mine with silicone then stuck the plastic back down with more silicone, did this 2 years ago and haven’t hand any water since 👍

Heads up for another issue. The caps that cover the roof bars/roof rack mounts. I have recently purchased 2x focus and both had this issue. Car previously must have had roof bars that had been removed before I purchased the vehicles. Factory they have a sealant that goes in the hole where the bolts go through that needs picking out. Obviously if bars are removed you need to reseal this hole.
