DC2R boot leak

[vtec R]

hey guys, i recently just bought a dc2r and when it was raining the other day i realised there was a leak coming from the boot, so i was wondering if it was best to replace the whole thing or just the seals, thanks

Do you know exactly where the leak was coming from? No point in replacing the wrong seals.

Common leak is from the tail light seals.

Pull your boot trim out. Get on the inside and have a mate hose the out side to find the leak before you go replacing anything and wasting cash

Yer most likly the tail lights gaskets need replacing. Or i just siliconed them to the car!
Also the antenna is known to leak also!

Antenna eh I didn't know that one. I shaved mine so never had an issue.

um, i dont think you should replace the boot.

it shouldn't be the tail lights because i had put on new ones when i got the car, but i'll get a mate to hose it from the outside to find out, thanks guys!

Did u replace the gaskets or just the lights?

[Karl]

the gaskets are separate from the lights. So just because the lights were replaced doesnt mean the gaskets was!

These are the gaskets..

yep the gaskets were changed along with the tail lights

bolts may be loss. But warning dont do them to tight. They will break off the light!
