It's been happening a while. The surface of the boot is damp. When i remove the cover and examine the underneath (where the spare tyre is) it's even wetter. I dry it all out and replace the cover but then a few days later the same problem. The fact that it's wetter underneath suggests the source of the water is from underneath and it soaks through the cover. Yet where is it coming from? It seems almost like condensation than anything else. Any help would be hugely appreciated. No money to take to garage.|||it's probably condensation.it could have a hole that a wet road might blow water thru. try puting some heater hose underneath the spare.in theory thus letting more air in the area underneath the spare.|||To state the obvious .... Water.
You could always try filling your boot with Silica gel. Seems to work on a small scale in Shoe-boxes.|||it is either being forced through a hole underneath or more likely through a broken boot seal.
Check the base of the boot for any small holes, that might normally have a rubber gromit in them to seal them.|||war,
How old is the vehicle?
You may find that the rubber seal around the boot lid has worn/corroded with time. Do you notice the moisture more after rains?
There are rubber seals that surround the openings for the tail lights as well...if they are hard/cracked/corroded, that's a possible opening where water may be entering the space.|||its not likely to be coming from underneath, as water flows downwards, so its probably coming from a leaking boot seal.
