Hi , after new tailgate window seal and tailgate seal I'm still getting some water ingress. Any advice or experience of this issue would be appreciated, cheers

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

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

Itβs possibly tracking around if the aperture seal is leaking

I've altered the aperture seal and there was no sign of water this morning after some heavy showers
