Re: Tailgate water ingress!
where's the ingress exactly?
Re: Tailgate water ingress!
Hi, dripping out of the vent slots at the bottom of the tailgate! I put a hose on it this afternoon, it also came through the seal. I can understand that if the tailgate is not sitting right but I can't figure how it gets into the tailgate itself, thanks

Re: Tailgate water ingress!
It could be corrosion around the window seal?

Hi, all corrosion was eliminated and repaired when the seal was replaced so it's very sound! I'll have a chat with the repairer tomorrow, cheers

It’s possibly tracking around if the aperture seal is leaking
Re: Tailgate water ingress!
I've altered the aperture seal and there was no sign of water this morning after some heavy showers

Not sure who suggested this but after false hopes were dashed tried resealing the volkswagen and transporter badges and it is finally fixed. They had been off last year for some repairs
