205 leaking water

[André Legerman]

Anybody out there who can help me on this problem?
I have a 1986 P 205. The car is used once a week only. After a rainy day I find water on the bottom of the car behind the left front seat and on the floor of the luggage compartment. I did the leak test spraying the doors and the windows with a water hose, but there is no water leaking in. Are there any hidden holes where water may drop in? Please help!

Common fault, usually caused by rear worn light clusters' seal. Replace seal or use some sealing dough. My brother has fixed his '91 DTurbo that way.

Light cluster seal? Really? Mad, I'd never have considered that. Mine turned out to be seal on the rear wiper jet, same on my mates GTi.

Glad it worked out good in the end - nothing worse than a leaky car!

Theres a seal between the back bit of the cluster and the actual metal work - no doubt it could leak in there. Wasnt my first thought though, thats all i was thinking.
