  • Condensation in boot?

    What!? Why!?

    I know how condensation works, but, just in the boot?

    Anyone have the same issue?

            Have you checked the side vents in the boot?

                  I might strip all of mine and see what is actually happening in there

                    I would bud
                    thing is....when the trims get wet at the bottom, they start to disintegrate and smell.
                    I've solved my water issues so I just need to fit these.
                    I've also used car bombs and the Smell has now disappeared.

                      What issues were you having?

                      Ive used car bombs in the past. Autosmart do some fantastic aerosol air freshners, worth a look

                        It was water ingress.
                        took me a while to find it, but I checked everything.
                        Turned out to be water coming in under the rear window washer and running down into the rear foot well.

                            Have you thought about also sticking a couple of the larger silica get packs in the boot. The 500g ones are only a few quid from ebay here.
