Ford Focus Water leak in Boot, Sealing Rear Vents Behind Rear Bumper

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This Problem Also Happens On The Fiesta & Many Other Models
I Have already found a issue with the rear light leaking, this is the video Link, • Ford Focus Mk3 Front S...
But having had lots of comments saying the rear vents are a big issue, I decided to investigate.
Its not a difficult job to do, in the video I show how to remove the rear bumper to gain access to the vents, remove them, & seal them back in with silicone.

    Thanks for the detailed video. I was able to catch the leaking vents in time on my 2014 focus. I followed your step by step instructios. The wheel well was full of water. My rear window was fogged up all the time. Took me about 4 hours cost €10.00 . What a result. No leaking...No foggy windows. My local Ford dealer did NOT want to know. Sort this out Ford.

After watching your videos I have now dried both cars out, removed the bumpers and fixed the leaks. Thank you so much, you saved me a fortune on garage bills and I would not have had a clue how to do it without following you. PS i also did a front light as well.

    Thanks very much for this video, followed it through this morning and it made the whole operation so much easier! I have a hint for making the vents easier to remove! Do the back ones first: lift the top rubber flap (gently, these are delicate) and you can simply pull in the top two tabs with a couple of long thin screwdrivers, no aggro at all! The whole top half comes loose and you can run another thin screwdriver down the outside to push in the bottom tabs. Back vent comes out in about a minute! Then reach inside through the back vent hole and, so long as your hands aren't massive, you can pop down three of the side vent's tabs (couldn't reach the top/far one) and wrestle that out in not much more time.

    Having just encountered this issue myself with a 2014 Focus, I have had no satisfaction whatsoever from Ford (Ireland) who claim that this is not a known issue meriting a recall as nobody has raised it with a certified Ford garage.

    Tip for removing vents. I just did this on my 2016 Fiesta and it only has one air vent on each corner. Here is a tip I found after doing the first vent for removing them at least with the 2016 model. If you lift up the bottom flap on the vent and look into the vent you can see the back side of the clips inside and use a screw driver to push up on the bottom tabs after inserting it between the rubber edge and the car wall (there are two on the top and bottom). This method allows one to see where the screw driver is (while keep the flap up) after inserting it through the bottom of the vent. Lifting the flap made it so much easier to remove the second vent after doing the first one the hard way.

    Great video with detailed instructions. I did that work two years ago on my 2012 Focus. Recently found out again water in the trunk, but only on the right-hand side. Today I took it apart and saw that my vent opening sealing is still good. Then I realized that water must've been entering into the vent corner from the top, around the fuel tank door - it is the same volume. Applied sealant around. We'll see if it is successful.

    Great video. A great guide to curing my problem. Both cavities behind the grilled were full of water with no obvious way of entering the boot with the car on level ground, but in motion or unlevel ground it probably flowed through the lower of two perforations so I sealed these on both sides just in case. I used caravan mastic as it stuck better and is thicker than silicone.

    I learned an easy trick to remove the air vents starting with the bigger one. Poke the corner tab with a screwdriver through the bottom hole. It should easily come off when you press the release tab. Then remove the top tab on the same side by pressing down whilst pulling. This should easily come off too. Once you have one side released slide it towards you and pull at an angle. Took me 2mins to release the other side when I learned the technique. Hope the instructions make sense. Thank you for this video!! You've helped so many people now!

    Thanks for posting this, I wouldn’t have known all the bolts & screws to find. My spare wheel well was full of water, now I understand why the rear passenger footwell is wet- the water pushes forward when I go downhill. I had heard a sound like fuel in the tank, now I know it was water in the spare boot. I should have listened to your advice word for word, I got impatient with a grommet underneath the bumper and ended up ruining it, other than I got the bumper off and on again. Time will if I sealed it well enough.

    I had this problem on my new to me 13 plate Focus. Great video for doing the belt and braces approach of sealing the vents but for me, the easiest thing to do it just remove the bung underneath. Allow the water to drain then pull the wadding out through the hole. Leave the bung out. I've not had any pooling water since. I don't have the luxury of a garage so again it is the best option for me personally.

    This is a great video with excellent commentary. All the steps are very clearly showed. I followed this to fix the water issue in my Ford Focus Mk3 2012. I used Tigerseal Adhesive & Sealant that I purchased from Eurocar parts Removing and putting everything back together probably takes an hour or so. Most of the time is to dry the sound damper cloth and cleaning/drying the water area. I put the sound damper cloth and grommets back in. The vent design/sealant is a very poor design from Ford.

    Fantastically helpful video. After much frustration and one broken air vent I found there is a way to extract the larger of the two vents on each side wihtout too much pain and frustration. You need to remove that bung underneath and then you can feed a screwdriver in while guiding by feel with a finger to where one of the clips is. Once that clip is popped there is another rubber bung to the side of the vent nearest the engine. you can remove this, and although you cant get a screwdriver in you can put your finger in and feel for the clip. This then allows you to feel when you are actually moving the clip with whatever implement you are using and slightly help it out as well. Once both bottom clips are out the vent should come out easily

    My daughters focus has been taking ‘water on board’ for well over 12 months. She got to the point where she was considering selling the car and asked for my opinion. A few clicks brought me to this site and we decided to give it a go. A really poor design by Ford but after a full days worth of ‘huffing and puffing’ we’ve finally got a dry car. The father and daughter bonding experience was an unexpected bonus
