For anyone else still having water leaking after trying this, check under the plastic roof runners, pull the end up and there will be a crack under it, i sealed the mine with silicone then stuck the plastic back down with more silicone, did this 2 years ago and haven’t hand any water since 👍

Hi. I'm getting wet both in the trunk and where the right rear passenger puts his foot. Can you please help? I would be very grateful if you get back to me quickly.

Why not close the door a bit so we can see what's under the hinge?
@jjordanjones1983 Жыл бұрын
Hello so where exactly is the silicone ment to go please. Is it inside the hole or around it. Thank you I'm suffering with the same problem
@ediizelii Жыл бұрын
Around the hole, where tow metals meet together.
@jjordanjones1983 Жыл бұрын
So you placed the silicon above the hinge. Wouldn't it come off when you close the boot because that hinge moves

another weak point are the mounting clips of the taillights and where they are screwed tight there are seals on the plastic spreading nuts embedded in the body. The seals on this Clips like to leak and thus also water runs in so it was with me

Well, my solution is: on my 2009 Focus Wagon on the roof (under the black long plastic roof trim) there are two holes, and in these two holes are two plastic screws (I didn't find a reason why are there, LOL). Remove these screws (first you must remove the inside roof carpet), and fill these holes with some better stuff (for example) Sikaflex-11 FC.

What worked for me - before you cover your car in silicone and basically make a mess of it do this first, this video and others DID NOT WORK FOR ME - answer is in the ROOF PLASTIC STRIPS or was for me at least , my leak was in right hand side of bootwell so i removed right hand strip, careful not to break it but it should remove with some pressure - now re silicone the whole gutter/space where strip has been removed ( you may notice tiny cracks damp in space )- leave it 10 mins then replace strip. This is a confirmed fix - my boot hasnt been wet since. Your welcome.

For those of you who tried this and are still having problems this is where mine was leaking. Lift the end of the plastic trim on the roof and there's a seam underneath it.(Go to 5.01 in this video and you'll see the roof trim I'm talking about. Mine had a bit of green algae on the point it was leaking. A blob of silicone on the seam did the trick for mine after much head scratching and unnecessary silicone elsewhere.
