Honda Jazz (/Honda Fit) - Water in Boot - Can you help?
Hi,
Can you help me - what should I do? My Honda Jazz (5dr, i-DSI, SE, 1.4L, 2002) has water collecting around the spare wheel in the boot after rainy weather or washing. I presume there is some sort of leak near the boot. Has this happened to you? Can you help me with information about how to fix the problem? How can I find out exactly what the problem is? Many thanks, Kenny |

Is there room to get inside the boot and close the hatch? Perhaps by folding the rear seats? If so get someone to play a hose on it while you look. You can often see where the water has got in just by looking at the metal of the body (it will leave a track) - but this usually means removing carpets and trim etc. Most likely is problems with window seals. Next would be anywhere there are holes in the body - lights, exterior trim etc. And don't forget sunroof drains - they are usually hoses down through the D posts. Check also the seal between hatch and body. Even if it looks ok water might get under it by capillary action. If it has there will likely be rust. Talcum powder squirted onto the steel bodywork at likely places can also help find the actual source. These are general tips - each model will have its most likely failures. -- *Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

I think that is very much to do with the rubber seal
in your boot as water sip into the bot through the seal. Why not give a call to the your mechanic for advice or send your car back to the workshop to have them fixed the problem. _____________________________________ Free Tips to Save Car Gas Bill & Much More @ www.HowCanISaveMoney.com/tips03.htm On Apr 24, 2:52 pm, wrote: > Hi, > > Can you help me - what should I do? > > My Honda Jazz (5dr, i-DSI, SE, 1.4L, 2002) has water collecting around > the spare wheel in the boot after rainy weather or washing.
