Condensation in the Boot

[Disky]

Took the zed out a little run today as things have been a bit hectic and its been a little forgotten as late.

opened the boot to get some G101 to clean it and it was fecking soaking,,,, underside of the lid was dripping with water, which as it was on underside of the lid i take to be condensation,,,,,

whats the best cure, and what could be causing it ?

Normally it's the seal to the third brake light that is the issue.

Cheers, shall remove it tomorrow and have a look, perhaps try a little smear of sillycoont on it before looking for a gasket

That's what I did to mine. Seem to cure it.

Rubber aerial grommet.
Rubber seals around rear lights.

On mine it was the main butyl seal between hood/body of car.
If you pull the carpets out you can then see where exactly the water is coming in from by running a hose (and the carpets will need to be dried Ajay way)
Someone said use talcum powder which show up where the water is coming in from - it amazing how it travels. At first I could see any trace of it coming from the hood seal so looked everywhere else.
