Water Leaking Into Boot

[ToneLoc]

HI there

can anybody give me a clue about a water leak into my boot? The water is coming in from behind the plastic which covers the rear nearside light cluster, and quickly fills up the spare wheel space!!

I notice that if you remove the vent behind the light cluter (inside the boot) there is a pipe which I think takes the water from the sun roof somewhere... it could be blocked, but have no idea where it goes!

Any ideas appreciated! :hokus-pokus:

Boot lid closed... still leaking!

There is a pipe on both sides if the car behind the vents leading to the light clusters, so not sure what they do!

Had this problem when I first bought my car, took it back to the Toyota garage and they replaced the seals on the rear light clusters. It's a common problem apparently. It took a while to dry up once toyota had fixed it but, if you use kitchen roll under the carpet and change it every couple of days.

I think ToneLoc is talking about the transparent pipe shown in this pic:

Anybody have the idea what's the purpose of these pipes and where do they connected to?

Thanks!!

Mine was a dodgy seal between the light clusters and the paintwork. Took weeks to dry out :(
