Water in boot/trunk (Peugeot 307; 2007)

If you boot is full of water, the air vent seals might be the reason. I drained ~6L of water in the boot/trunk of my car.

The car is a Peugeot 307 (2007; 1.6L 16v petrol; 110bhp; ~50,000miles; TU5JP4 engine). This should be the same in Citroen with the same 1.6 petrol engines.

The seal is a bit on the thin side, but I will report here if this has not stopped the water coming in. In the video I will show you where these seals are, how to remove them, how to apply the seal and put them back on. Of course, one can just drill a hole in the boot, but that does not address the root problem and eventually everything will be rusty from the flowing water, let alone that this water will flow around wires as well.

Dude... Thank you so so much for this video. I went crazy trying to find the leak. And the water made my car really moldy. The mechanics didn't have any idea why. Thank you again! Greetings from Croatia 😊

My Peugeot 307 has the exact same leak and the tire house is a pool. I was having trouble finding the cause, but thanks to you I have found the cause. Thank you.

You're an absolute star!!! I've been trying to figure out the reason why my Peugeot 308 (2009 model) is always full of water in the boot when it rains. The car has gotten very mouldy and I nearly gave up on the car until I found your video! I'm going to try fix it myself now that I know what is wrong. Thank you so much!!!

Like many other :thank you for sharing this awesome fix. Solved my water leak 👍🏼. Thank you ❤

I just removed these vents as well because they leaked. The original rubber is 3mm, so I suggest replacing it with 3mm rubber strip

I had exactly the same problem in Brazil, thanks a lot mate!

Interesting that I should find your channel now. I have a 2012 Peugeot 308 and i'm tracing a water leak into the boot. With inner trim removed I could confirm that the metal overlap each side of the car (roughly in-line with the hinges) under the boot seal seemed to be letting in water. But a quick try tonight in the rain and my fix didn't work. I can confirm the light units are not letting in water so my next thought is these vents. But not entirely sure.

Had the exact same problem on my Citroen C4. It drove me crazy trying to source leak. Tried everytging including wire loom. Ot end3d up being this. Thanks.

I had bunch of leafs/dust clogging irrigation lines behind rear lights, so gaskets there were soaked and leaking as well... Took care of that, but it kept filling through these vents, but I thought I had to remove bumper to reseal them. Might try your way. Thanks!

Hi. Thank you very much . I replace them and no more water in the boot. 😊 I also found moisture at the boot release button on the inside (peugeot 307 2006 hatchback ) after l replace the boot locking removing the plastic cover and the wires. I will replace that boot switch and clean the area.

Thanks for the tutorial, i have combi model with the same issue, but the vents are easier to reach on mine.
Got some water between the pedals and drivers seat too, that cant really locate..

[steveskipper]

Great video, thanks - is that flat grey circle on the boot floor a drainage plug? If it is, there would be no need to drill holes in the boot floor

The Air vent is to release stale air from the cabin, fresh air is drawn into the Car from the front intake/heater when the car is in motion. I had the water problem in my Citroen C3 trunk as you described, I cured it. Open the trunk and in both top corners are rubber sealing covers, one is for wiring and the other is the rear window wash hose, this I found, was the culprit it's very soft and easily lifted with the fingers, I applied Silicone sealant at the top edge of the inside, of the covers taking care to keep it as neat as I could, let it harden before lid is closed . . .

Още едно много хубаво и полезно видео. Имам същото пежо и с интерес гледам всички клипове в канала. Благодаря и продължавайте все така:)

[Johnwenn]

Well Done I've been wondering why my boot has been filling with water.

[urbanskargren]

Thank you so much... I explained the leakage problem to a car mechanic and he suggested I could just drill a hole through the bottom of the trunk straight down to the street so the water just drains away. What do you think about that?

[nesmio]

Also common for the gasket around the trunk handle / opening button to leak.

[ruimotta]

Hey man, thanks so much for the video.
I have EXACTLY the same problem and you really helped me out.
I shared your video on my twitter account. I hope that's ok. If it's not, I'll take it down.
