So a couple of days ago I fitted a new rear wiper to my lc, a couple of weeks into ownership now, went to sort the poor rear washer, surprise surprise, I managed to empty the washer bottle quickly into the boot!!!, quick scan on here, and a while later most of the boot and trim removed, found the connector unclipped by the boot light, retest, its better but not perfect, and another pool in the boot, the connector to the wiper itself was disconnected too. After much skinning of knckles, boot trim off and snapped it back on, now all working good, carpet etc now drying in garage, went out the next day, and found water in the spare wheel well and in the back left hand corner where the vent/flappy thing is, another read up, and ii have now silicone sealed around the lh boot hinge, spent a long time with the hose to confirm its now dry, which it is, on the nearside, but a couple of drops have appeared by the rear rh vent in the corner now.
Weather is too bad to sort at the moment but will seal that one in next day or so, surprising how much water the small cracks in the mastic sealant let in, I also have the doors to do as I have water sitting on both nearside door sills, have bought the stuff needed, just need the weather to buck up, but it looks like it runs out when I open the door, as carpets seem dry, although I did buy a dehumidifier which has been running in the car for last 2 days, and has collected a fair amount in it.
Have also bought a pioneer dab cd radio to replace oe item, and the cubby that replaces the cd changer, waiting to go in, then must try not to mess about with it, although I'm tempted to get a remap and a cat back exhaust, as my exhaust looks really grotty, and prob a k and n panel filter, must stop looking at the 18/19 alloys too lol, so a few bits todo, but overall pleased with the car, only bought it as a 2nd car/cheap runabout, but wanted something with a bit of go too, plus needed 5 doors and a decent boot.

Same here with the doors(not leaking in yet!) and found water in the boot today on the same side as you. At this rate we'd best invest in some sails and an anchor!
