💧 This Ford Focus had water leaking into the boot area from various places, which is a common issue on various models of Ford, and it's usually the same series of issues causing the leaks.
We have shown this issue before, where the panels join creating a seam, over time, as the car flexes the seam comes apart slightly allowing water to leak through. This is not a serious structural issue, but the seams do part enough to form a gap.
Solution: We will use a waterproof sealer, forcing it into the seam to seal the leak. This is a similar sealer used in the car's manufacture, which you can see over-painted on the interior panels of cars. We will also put it over the seam on the other side of the car, in-case that also cracks in the future. It will also have the benefit of preventing rust.
This car had a number of leaks (which they often do). Please look at our playlist for more information.

A B O U T
The videos shown on this channel are taken from inspection reports, filmed for the customer who has paid for a diagnostic inspection, which comes with a video report. We share them here for informational purposes because the hardest part of fixing leaky cars is finding the leak.
After the initial inspection, if the customer agrees to have the work done, we film progress reports for the customer and will sometimes include them here.

F E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S
Q: How much does it cost?
A: We don't know. That's why we do a diagnostic inspection. We cannot answer the question of how much it costs to fix before we know the extent of the problem. Prices for our inspection and hourly rates can be found on our website.
Q: Why don't you show us how to fix it?
A: This isn't a DIY channel, we are sharing videos we take for the customer as part of our inspection process. Furthermore, the vast majority of the fixes are simple, and if you need to ask how to fix them, you probably should let a professional deal with it. See below:
⚠️ C A U T I O N ⚠️
⚡ Electricity and water is a dangerous combination. This is especially the case with electric and hybrid cars, but most modern cars have electronic control units in areas which are prone to water ingress. These are easily damaged and can be expensive to replace.
💥 Areas that need to be accessed to fix water leaks may contain airbags. These are explosive and can be quite sensitive. Tampering with them could lead to serious injury.
☣️ Cars that have been damp for a prolonged period often contain mould, mildew and dangerous bacteria. Mould spores can seriously affect the health of people with asthma, the old, very young, and people with compromised immune systems. Mould should always be taken seriously.
