Paddybrown23 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 My girlfriends ford ka has had a leak in the boot for some time. Found out it's dripping through the rear light so guess the seal has gone. What should I use to re seal it? Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stooza Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Hey Paddy, it's a common problem on KA's. It's usually one of 3 things, Boot seal split, boot handle nuts slightly loose or like you say, rear light cluster seal. Plumbers mate is good but if you still have problems, I have know this leak to be sorted with a bit of caulk of all things If it's been going on for a while, check the earth contacts are not corroded under the light cluster inside the boot also. Let us know how you get on matey edited cause I cant speel propurly Edited July 10, 2012 by Stooza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
