Water in spare tire well

Post by anvil82 »

I am getting water in the spare tire well, but I do not know how it is getting in.

Is this a common problem, and what could be the cluprit?

water always passes through doors when it rains etc. its usual, but if drain holes are plugged itll settle in bottoms of doors and theyll rust out, check to see if train holes are plugged up, theyre usually on corner of the door

I didn't have any problems till I took the gasket around my spoiler off temporarily, then it started letting water in through the mounting bolt holes for the spoiler. It should stop again as soon as I get around to replacing the spoiler gasket.
