C30 Water Leakage

Post by BeardedRabbit »

Hello everyone,

I'm a recent member from Turkey, and I purchased a 2011 Volvo C30 about six months ago. Unfortunately, my car, which doesn't have a sunroof, experienced water leakage during the recent heavy rains here in Turkey. The right rear seat, footrest, and luggage compartment all got wet.

I've attached a photo marking the affected areas. I tried to remove the back seat, but I couldn't figure it out. If anyone has advice on how to disassemble the seat so I can take it home and dry it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Additionally, I'm seeking assistance in identifying where the water might be entering my vehicle and suggestions on how to fix the issue. With the rainy season just beginning, I want to address this problem as soon as possible.

Apologies for any language errors; English is not my native language. Looking forward to your valuable insights and guidance.

All the hatch/boot seals look ok?

You could have someone run a garden hose over it while you watch inside for when it leaks.

The seals appear to be in good condition.

UPDATE

The water leak in my vehicle was due to the boot stopper. I insulated it and reattached it, and I'm happy to report that there are no more leaks.
