Leaky back door

Post by **Live to Board** » 28 Feb 2008, 13:30

I'm pulling my hair out and I've silcaset the world!!! Anyone else had a leak in the little space right above the back locker at the rear of the vehicle? I have put so much sealant around the area but there's still water getting in!!

Cheers
