Soulfly83 0 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Looking to help someone I know , there auris has a wet rear nearside carpet. Any common areas they're known to let water in causing wet rear carpet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
furtula 292 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Auris, and many of other Toyotas are infamous for water leaking in the boot. Yours could be full of water under the carpet where spre wheel should be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FROSTYBALLS 3,439 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Probably be helpful to know what year the Auris is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soulfly83 0 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 My bad, am sure it's a 2014 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garethpaul 22 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Sure this is an Auris, and not a Yaris as in your profile? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Soulfly83 0 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Boot is soaking, loads of water in spare wheel area. Just the seals around the rear lights? How does this get to rear carpet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Soulfly83 0 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I'll silicone the rear lenses, does the bumper need to be removed to silicone the the vent seal? The auris is a 2012 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flash22 662 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Don't silicone it, get the proper seals and do not seal the vents that's just a bodge job, the vents are there for a reason , if the spare wheel well is full every time you would brake it would slosh over run under the back seat into the rear foot wells don't assume it's the rear lights check all around the tailgate opening making sure the rear rubber boots for the wiring are ok Ideally you need to pull the rear 1/4 trims and find the source of the leak a dusting of baby powder soon shows the path of the water Quote Link to post Share on other sites
furtula 292 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I suggest opening the boot, removing middle plastic part (where the lock is), rolling the carpets back, and watching from inside the car as someone pours water on top of it. Pretty easy to locate the source of the water + and since you have it all taken apart, you can fix it immediately. In my case it was getting in between the bodywork seems. A lazy option would be taking out one of the boot rubber plugs. heat up a piece of wire and make a tiny hole. Reinsert the plug other way around, from top to bottom. That way water will drain out (in case you don't fix the actual issue) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume they mean sealing where the vent assembly mates with the car body, i.e. replacing the foam seal that has undoubtedly disintegrated - not sealing the vents shut. I just did this on a 2009 Auris, the foam seals were in bits. Replaced foam with silicone sealant - vents still function as intended but hopefully won't let masses of rain water in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
