OK OK, I am sure this is probably bindun.
But where is the leak in my boot coming from?

Is it the light-cluster or the hinges?
How do I stop it?

Grrrr

The comon cause of this is the boot hinges, Ford just apply sealant around them to stop the water coming in.

Found it.
Hinges at the top.

Silicone fix.

Now. I have the boot carpets out for drying.
I have an oil radiator in the car to air out.

The front carpets (underneath) look damp (a little) are they easy to take out? - I imagine it's a seat out job, in which case I'll just lift and air that way.

(to air?)

Shoddy Ford.

It is a very big job to take the carpet out you would have to remove every seat and the centre console as it is a one piece carpet

Sorted it. Lifted carpets up.
Hot air blowers and Oil Rad to Dry out.

What a pain!
