Water in boot side compartment

[Marks4b8]

hi new on here im sure its been mentioned numerous times, ive had water in drivers side compartment of boot now since i bought my s4, had changed bootlid light seals and removed the vents behind bumper and sealed them back in with sealant yet still after rain falls there still seems to be a small pool appearing directly under the vent in boot compartment, losing the will to live with it lately nothing seems to work, next step will be stripping boot out and hosing down the car to find the leak, audi s4 2012 saloon no sunroof ect, any thoughts appreciated, thanks

Hello Mark,

Many thanks for being in touch.

It seems you have indeed covered most bases in trying to solve this issue, and it’s very difficult to suggest a next move. Before putting a ‘friend’  - armed with light and some sandwiches! - in the boot, I think I would be removing the vent/s again and securely taping over the aperture to see if that influences the situation. Sorry, can’t think of anything else that you haven’t tried.

Perhaps you could let us know how you get on. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
