2010 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Ipanema Sand

Jo 90,

I have the same rust as your photo......

I have had it re sprayed twice and thought it was mud and moisture getting behind the arch liner and causing it. seems you guys are saying its cused by the water that gets in the spare wheel well occasionally. i;ve tried removing my boot door seal, siliconed all of the seams and replaced... no effect. i think i might have to take the rear bumper off to try sealing around there. I cannot seem to get at the sunroof drains? They also seem quite far removed from the rear quater pannel / boot? MY2010 TDV8 Vogue Ipanema Sand

@Joe90

rusty bolt - off side:

Inside rust:

Hope the rust spot doesn't get worse, are you 100% sure you don't have water perhaps under the tyre?

I had a quick look this morning before the rain to see what's going on. The fabric on the left side was bone dry, under the tyre it was like sea world aquarium.

I have noticed the fabric on the left is only wet when it rains for more than ~30min and when the hatch is lifted up I get a small river coming down. My guess is water builds up at the top then seeps in through the rubber seal, slowly finds it's way down the fabric on the left past the amp and into the spare wheel compartment.

For now I have cleaned all the water out, cleaned up and laid some newspaper to see if that gets damp, I guess the water under the wheel built up over time. New rubber seal me thinks!

2003 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Monte Carlo Blue

With all that rain we had last night and reading this I thought better have a look at the rear of the FF, bound to have some in there..... NOT a drop of water in the usual places FF's leak, nothing in the spare wheel well either, oh and I don't have one of those plastic bags over the electric's on the left side rear either .....no I'm not smug, its goina happen some day then I'll If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Real pig the hinge leak. I recommend to clean and smother the hinge with silicon.
You can not see hole from above but it must be there as since I covered with silicon no water ingress.
what were LR thinking off not putting a gasket there.
