Found the water source and fixed!

@gm can I ask what sealant you used?

I’ve not pulled the trim panel off yet, but have some water ingress here too, so assuming the same thing.. was thinking to use tiger seal..

When I had the rear camera fitted at the same time as ghost, Chris Preston found the rear spoiler had a bolt missing and a loose one plus a spare rattling around in the rear hatch, this appears to be regular issue given number of comment on here.

Whoever was on the assembly line on this station must have been short of time or butterfingers.

I had this same issue. Previously tightened the bolts as one came loose last year. Few months ago a had water leaking in and had the spoiler off to seal it back up properly. I did a little guide on here if its of any use to you

I had rattling spoiler bolt as well that had come out, other bolts where finger tight. Had spoiler off resealed and refitted,  no problems since.

As others have said whoever designed and fitted this needs to go back to the drawing board, as it seems to be a common problem.

@Stroudy i used sticks like shit mate (clear) use it all the time hot cold nothing affects it and can be applied wet if needed. Also used NATO grade lock tight on the bolts 🤫 just happened to find some 😂😂

Thought I’d BUMP this thread back up as just washed mine, opened the boot up to see water dripping from between the plastic trims, only had time to remove the centre trim, all 3 bolts finger tight, just retightened for now, gonna look at a more substantial fix when I can find info and what to use, remembered I’d seen the culprit noted somewhere so went looking! God I’ve missed this club, took a bit of time away since Kenny left and it got massively out of control, it still is in a way. Anyway, keep up the good work people and hopefully keep this damn fine club going!
