I am grateful for the different ideas to stop the water leaking into the boot of my C1. However after trying all the various methods e.g. taking off the rear light clusters and sealing the holes where the wire goes through and also the rear centre stop lamp. The water still poured in. I eventually took off the seal around the back boot opening and cleaned it out, it was full of mould where the seal went over the metal edge. Having cleaned it thoroughly I replaced it and the water still poured in. I took the seal off again and put a bead of clear silicone all the way inside the seal where it clips onto the car body. I placed it back and it is now completely sealed - no more water . What I believe was happening was that the water got under the seal and found its way between the two pieces of metal which is where the seal covered it then ran into the boot from various folds and openings below the boot ledge. If you've tried everything else then try this and let me know if it works.

Hi Graham, I used to engineer door seals for Rover and you are quite correct. Water can track over the flange via the carrier. Wind and road noise too. All Rover's (and JLR's these days) seals have a bead of 'mastic' within the carrier to seal it to the flange - in much the same way you've done with silicon. I'd suggest you do the same with your door seals. I've just done this with my Saab's boot seal as part of my crash repair. Good job

Thank You so much for this video. I have a C1. I love the car except the leaking boot! Every time it rains the boot mat is soaking wet and then it takes days to dry out. My Husband used sealant on the rear high level brake light as shown in your video. We had really heavy rain last night and the boot was completely dry this morning!! The windscreen would have frost on the inside when frosty due to amount of moisture inside the car. So pleased this has finally been sorted, thank you.

Hi Julie, the high level brake light is especially common as the gasket breaks down, so I'd suggest doing that anyway. Water getting in here also damages the bulb holder contacts and can render it useless.

@jpt3640 8 ай бұрын

Great explanation. You forgot the vent holes behind the bumper. There is a foam sealing too which is totally inadequate. I replaced it with sanitary sealing. This was my 80% leakage. Rest is probably left lights or top brake light.

Yeah, it's not the best foam in the world. The only problem with using silicon is that you might have to destroy the new foam next time you need to change a bulb. I'm currently looking for suitable LED bulbs to do a complete cluster conversion, then it [probably] won't matter if it's fully sealed.

The only idea the guys at the workshop had was to replace the rubber that encloses the trunk hood for two times. With no effect. To everything bad I had the feeling that at the 2nd time where I paid for a new rubber I could swear they charged me with the amount for this work, but the rubber was not exchanged.

That way your second window will be fixed properly and you won't have the lack of recall work for someone to knock you down with should you ever sell the car. The horn beeping thing could be the clockspring behind the steering wheel. There are several C1 breakers on the Facebook forums so a 2ndhand one shouldn't be hard to find.

My main leak was the middle brake light, I removed it cleaned off the old gasket applied a beed of black silicon,fitted it back to the car cleaned off the excess silicon beautiful job. Oh shit I had forgot to connect the lights plug what a Donkey. So today I removed the light again, it was a bit of a struggle getting it out ,but with the help of a credit card inserted between the light and the car I managed .After cleaning of the old silicon which is a B of a job , refitted it cured . My secondary leak is on the door gasket at the bottom 150mm to the right of the catch .When I lifted that section of seal it looks like water is tracking under the gasket and over the lip where the door seal fits. I put some grease on this and refitted the seal to see if that is indeed the case . Will let you know. Have a nice Christmas . Andy

@CycloneCyd 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Andrew, thanks for recounting your experience. Who amongst us has never done that eh? You can't learn from mistakes you don't make, lol!! Do you mean water is tracking around the seal carrier / body flange interface? better quality seals on more expensive cars have a mastic sealant deep in the carrier to prevent that. Take the seal off all round and use a very fine nozzle to put silicon bead dep in the carrier and put back.

@74HC04 5 жыл бұрын

The C1/107 seal does have a white mastic sealant in the groove of the seal - where it contacts the bodywork of the car. It's a kind of putty-like substance. I have two broken seals in my garage to prove this - one of which is the original from my late 2011 C1. If I was to use grease, I would go for silicone grease to avoid damaging the EDPM rubber.

Nice informative video CC! The problem I have with my Peugeot 107 is that after a big rain shower the water comes in all the way in the back! Not to the sides behind lights but to the right and mostly to the left - right underneath the cables the passes from right to left.. So where could the leak most likely be? Thanks, Peter

Hi cyclone cyd, I can’t seem to find the leak in my C1, somehow the water seems to find its way into the rear footwell behind the passenger seat. I’m yet to have a look at the boot seal and the lights. Do you think it’s the passenger door seal or the boot seal (or the lights)?

Hi Cyd Great videos, been very useful. I have a 107 and it has been leaking through the passenger door, do you have a video about how to fix something like that?

@CycloneCyd 3 жыл бұрын

No I haven't. It's probably the door seals. I'll look into it and see if I can do a video.

Thank you a great video. Now just to work put where its leaking. The top part of the side carpet lining is dry, bottom damp so I'm thinking seal or light

Tail lights or centre brake lights are the most likely culprits. Watch how I treat my Saab boot seal in this video, then do the same with your tailgate seal and side door seals. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lc-keK2pt7nIin0.html

Hi I have a C1 and have no problems with the boot however my back seat (just behind the driver) is constantly saturated since winter started. Do you have any tips?

This cars leak a lot from the seals around the vents under the rear bumper. You need to remove the bumper and reseal them.

Hi Dima, thanks for watching and interacting. Yes, they do. I'm intending to do a separate video on that, including it here would have made this video too long.

Sorry, I didn't read this before saying the same. My comment links to a photo of what happens to the seals of those vents.

Hi cyclone Sid. Great video thanks. I’d like to ask, just how much water do you think the rear vents might let in realistically in normal rainy conditions?

@CycloneCyd Жыл бұрын

Oh, the rear vents _can_ let in loads. I haven't done ours, we don't seem to have a problem with them. You need to take the bumper off to get at them.

Any ideas for a citeron c2 2007. Water coming in from the upper break light, back left light unit, and also getting into the back left passenger footwell

@ceriremnant1882 2 жыл бұрын

So I have fitted new seals on the middle brake light and both back lights and put a new seal above the seal on the boot and I still have water coming in 😞 any other ideas? And it only seems to be coming in on the one side of the boot now

Nice work thanks i have sealed up the high mount brake light and fitted new bulbs i am doing the rear lamps next did you remove the old foam from the lamps when you fitted the new stuff ?

@CycloneCyd 4 жыл бұрын

Hi chris, no I left the original foam seal in place, it's about an inch thick so would be quite hard to replace.

When you say silicone sealant is that just regular bathroom silicone? it says it's UV resistant and works up to 150 C temp on mine.

@JohnPlant90 4 жыл бұрын

I seem to have water getting behind the seal ie. Around the flange that the seal clips on to. I have tried putting a sealant into the seal and pressing it back on again.
