    Why would using Indian Pale Ale work?

              Are you still getting water in the boot?

                      In the boot, there are two holes either side, if you were to pop the rear bumper off, there is the big plastic clip where the bumper clips in. It's pop riveted on. Behind that clips is where you will find those holes. Vx only put a thing like a sticky plaster over it on the inside. After time the plaster slides off, exposing the holes to the elements. Unfortunately you can't really see it from the inside of the boot.

                        If you use a small mirror or even better a scope cam you can just see them, I used to have pictures somewhere. I popped my bumper off the old car and drilled a big hole through the clip inline with the factory hole and pumped it full of silkaflex. Voila no more leaking boot. I'm probably going to do the same on my new vx line. But this time I'm going to drill the rivets and pop the whole clip off and seal it up even better.

                                The hole on the passenger side is easy enough to get at but the one on the drivers side is kinda hidden between the two skins, if that makes any sense. I posted up earlier about knowing where it was coming from then I remembered have this conversation with mad on Vaux a long time ago and he'd said he filled the two holes that's why I deleted it and changed my comment if anyone was wondering
