Water leaking in back

Postby Ellmerfudd » Wed Oct 06, 2021 8:18 am

Good morning everyone, I have bought a 2017 custom limited edition, it has got a water leak in the back left side at the top when it rains, it does have roof bars fitted and try as I may I can’t find where this water is coming in, it’s definitely not the rear door seal, it seems to come from the top join but I am lost

I had a very similar problem on my last custom, try removing the roof rails and put silicone on the threads and refit the rails. It worked for me.

What he said! Except I put loads of sealant on the mating faces also. Worked a treat and it was absolutely p*****G in when it rained heavy.

The leakage in my custom came from the top brake light that wasn't water tight.
