Freelander 1 Moist lock box

2006 TD4…

Anyone have experience with a wet lockbox/cubby hole in the boot? Very moist in there and quite a bit of water condensed on the “roof” of the lockbox door. Heat from the muffler? Just looking for input before I pull the carpet to check the body.

And how long does pulling the center console take?

Normal FL1 issue. There are a few causes, some to do with the rear door not selling correctly, and sometimes the weld between the cubby and the boot floor isn't sealed correctly, allowing water in from below.
Some owners fix the issue, other's simply drill a small hole in the bottom of the cubby, to allow water to drain out.

Thanks for the info. The door seal seems fine, so I will remove the carpet and inspect when I replace the parking sensor speaker
