Help, I know this topic has been done before but I’m starting to feel like it’s beyond help, so I had the classic puddle in the boot which we know is the foam gasket around the tail gate stop light so I replaced the whole fitting with a genuine new part, it worked for a bit and then once again the water started coming in so I tried to create a mastic seal which did absolutely nothing, I then found on eBay you could buy an aftermarket gasket which is supposed to be 33% thicker, I applied the petroleum jelly as well as advised and thought yep that’s cracked it, I did this on Saturday it rained heavy overnight and Sunday morning guess what big puddle in the boot, I feel like I’ve exhausted every option now, is it possible the glass isn’t sealed properly or the adhesive holding the glass has started to perish in some way, I absolutely love the freelander 2, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned and I love driving it but I actually had the horrible thought of maybe it’s time to go and I really don’t want to do that, has anyone else had the persistent leak and how did you solve it, Thankyou...
