Ford Focus Water Leaking into Boot

How to Repair, No New Parts Required.
This Ford Focus is a MK3, 2012 model year, and the boot / trunk is really wet. Water ingress all around the spare wheel.
I show in the video how find the fault and how to repair.

Same problem here.Only discovered it by chance today whilst looking for the locking wheel nut.Was dry about 6 weeks ago but the recent heavy rain must've shown it up.Will have a go at this when weather is better.Dried it all out for now.

Really useful video. A body shop had failed to tighten up their replacement for wingnut (which they either broke or lost!) allowing water to seep in and fill up the box section. I used silicone as additional sealant. All we need now is some rain to test it...

Got the same issue on my fiesta, hopefully it's caused by the same fault, going to get those lights off as soon as possible to check. Very helpful video!

Thank you for the video pal, very easy to follow and knowledgeable

My mistake, sorry - you are quite right. Water coming in through these seals does indeed come into the boot. However my leak was higher up.

Good find 👍. If this is anything like the MK2 they are notorious for leaking at the spot welded seam at the gutter joining roof to rear quarter and on the seams around the rear boot hinges. Fills the boot much the same.

watched your video going to try and do the repair tomorrow many thanks very informative

[sickbeatsproductions]

had the same leak, turned out to be the roof rails near the boot end, used some black strong silicone underneath each rail

Thanks for this video, it's a been big help. Had a go today sorting out what will hopefully be the last of my water problem!!

2 years of water in boot I'm doing it tomorrow big thanks 🙏

[grahammusto]

Thanks for the video. Hopefully this will cure my leaking boot!

[pauldoherty]

New you were Leicester soon as you started talking .. great vid hope it sorts my boot leak out

The water collects in the bottom corner of the rear quarters. Underneath the car in the bottom of the quarters are 2 bungs you can remove so the water drains out. So Ford obviously realised this would be a problem at the design stage.

Thank you. It has been really useful.

Hi would this sort of leak travel to the footwells too as mine are soaked. Sold to us as a dodgy wet car unfortunately. Garage has had it in lots and can't find the leak, next job there going to try the back bumper filters?

[awantamta]

That was a very useful video as many cars can leak from the boot so thank you but get rid of that peak cap. It gets in the way !

[adrianritchie]

Don't think you solved it, that much water means it's coming in the air vents under the bumper

[paulmann]

I fixed mine Mk 3 2012 with the vent issue but now have another a lot higher up was working water the hose pipe near the seam weld near the hinges on the near side and it started coming through the double skinned part does this model suffer from bad panel sealing also the paint has come of the old bead sealant
