My car, which hasn't had even the slightest water leakage problem for years, started leaking last week. Water is leaking from both sides of the trunk, from the very back to the corner. Every time I look at the exact corner, water accumulates. Oddly enough, I can pour water for minutes, and someone inside is watching, but it's not leaking. But even with a little rain—something that happens as we wait—it seems to be leaking overnight. We can't find it, and I'm going crazy. Has anyone else had this problem before? antipollution2023-12-11 19:26:05

Hello sir, there are air grilles on the left and right, the plastic is probably coming from there. If there is no problem with the wicks and stops,

A couple of days ago, when I got to my car this morning, I noticed that the left bumper, the driver's side, was disconnected. There was a significant scratch. I immediately looked at the right side of the car behind me and realized it was the one behind me who had hit me. Thinking it wasn't a big deal, I found a clip on the bumper that had come loose anyway. I pushed it back on and went about my business. Could this be related to that? After you mentioned it, I did some research online. There's not much information about the air conditioning for the 207s. But the 307s do have it. You'd have to remove the bumper to check that part, wouldn't you? It's a lot of work now :(

I had a little time today, so I had the chance to try it out. I bought a few bottles of water and, with the trunk closed, poured a lot of water through the green gutter. When I got inside the car and checked, the spot right behind the area I've highlighted in red was wet. After that, I dried myself again and poured the water through the gutter I've highlighted in green without closing the trunk. And I saw with my own eyes that water was coming from the back, corresponding to the red spot :) The weird thing is, there's metal on metal inside the car right there. But there's only one metal sheet on the outside. So, there's no visible point where it could get in. The part holding the bumper can't have a screw because it's 1-2 cm above where the water is coming from. When I look at the car from underneath, I can't see the vents that way. However, I saw two long sponges covering the vents at the points I've highlighted in blue on top. I poured a lot of water through these areas, and even though these sponges covering the vents from the outside got wet, no water came in. My last thought came to the clips I've marked in yellow. I thought maybe the person who hit it from behind had caused it to move, causing water to leak between the two sheets, but to access that part, I had to remove the bumper. For now, I didn't touch it until I was sure. I found a representative photo and tried to explain it. antipollution2023-12-13 20:09:12

Master, I solved the problem today. I wanted to tell you in case anyone else has experienced it. I found the problem that was exhausting me so much, that I even had to silicone the edges of the windows with Dyson, and that even forced me to spray Dyson all the way to the inside of the taillight. :) When I woke up this morning, I had an idea. I wondered if the spoiler on the trunk lid could be the brake light. Anyway, to cut it short, when I removed the upper brake light, the seal, or rather the plastic, had loosened completely, in fact, it had grown half its original size. Because of this, water entered there and flowed directly from the inside of the trunk lid. However, it shouldn't have flowed from there. This way, it clung to the plastic on the trunk lid and dripped onto the far right, and if the car was leaning to the left, onto the far left. When this water first entered, when I poured too much water through the channels to test it, the water passed from the inside through the two sections I showed in the photo, between the two zinc plates, at the point I marked in blue, and released water behind the taillights. After I solved the upper taillight, I don't know how to solve this nonsense of water coming out of these red spots in heavy rain. antipollution2023-12-15 19:27:16
