Great Vid!👍

Mines leaking aswell

thank u i have the same probleme with my wif's ford fiesta

Great video. My 2010 fiesta has the same leakage problem . I sealed every possible leakage areas. Its done.

Good call on black jacking the OSB, I did the same on mine 🙂

IMHO if you are using thinner grade oil than 20w50 (most cars these days) and you are going to keep it for 100000+ miles you might want to pre-fill your oil filter to stop premature engine wear (see oil geek youtube)

I purchased a 10' x 10' shed last year, I painted the under side of the floor two coats using i think the same bitumen paint. I also painted the lower two boards of the outside walls all round with two coats of the same bitumen paint. the rest of the shed with curinol ducksback which I think is great shed paint. It's been less than eighteen months and the bitumen paint on the lower boards is washing off with the rain. Not Impressed. Keep up the good work.

Looking good, catch you on the next one, take care

Good progress on the Workshop and a great video. Looking forward to part 3!

Great video mate thanks 🎉🎉

If it helps anyone, I did all the things shown here and still had water coming into the boot, though less than before. Long story short, it was the plastic strip in the gutter on the roof that was letting in water. Presumably through a loose clip. I solved it by sealing both sides of the strip (sealing just the wider inside groove didn't do it) all the way along using black Sikoflex and taping it up first to make it neat. The boot is now dry.

Subscribed 🎉 love thinking outside the box using tools for one purpose of another 👍 good job

Your dumn😂😂😂😂

All the efforts put into this contraption just ended up making the removal trickier. Now you don't have a post to lift the concrete block when digging it out.

Wrong , no proper resistance to the front. Not only that, if he taken some of the concrete from around the post out , placed proper blocking down it would work. I've done it for 94 feet of fencing.

It is obvious, the jack is on the concrete. While the jack is being pumped up there is downward pressure is being exerted on the concrete. Something had to give, either the screws or post. You would be better served by making a bridge with cinder blocks and stacked 2x6's over the concrete and using lag screws/bolts to secure the 2x4 to the fence post. This would be far better than digging out the post. Best of luck.

I love workshop builds so looking forward to the next episode! I can imagine getting rid of all that concrete would be back breaking but I am sure it will be worth it in the end. Liked and subbed.

Really great video, thank you.

Hi great video I’m a little worried to try this myself but want to give it a go to save money. Could you give me some links to the parts you used please

Fantastic video so in depth thanks for the share! Would like to ask one questions, what sealant should i use as i am having this problem got a quote from a garage for 700 but i want to try and do it myself

Great looking tool. Thanks for sharing.

Quality video mate, thank you! Can check all the possible leak causes now Had leaks into boot/right hand footwell on my Fiesta, driver side rear light seal failed, moisture was past the seal so was a definite cause! Passenger side OK - but now I'll check all these bits while I am at it to make sure no other leaks, thanks to yourself and the easy guide!

Bang on video, thanks. Why on earth do they manufacture the car with all these holes in, only to tape over them? Real shoddy stuff from Ford that. My only guess is that in the factory, those holes are there as points to rack the parts of the car as they are being primed or painted? Just a guess.. poor design and absolute lack of foresight if thats what is causing tens of thousands of Britains' most common car to suffer interior water ingress problems.

Damn good video! Really helpful thanks 🫶

Wow great video, especially all the pictures explaining where the leaks can be and how to fix them.

Where did you get new grommets? Thanks

Did all off this but its still leaking. any idea what it might be?

Great video many thanks. The Granville silicone was a bit hard to work with so its not pretty but its watertight😁

A new rubber gasket for each rear light fitting, and sealant on the body weld joins next to the hatch hinges did the trick.

Thank you ! Car Mechanics that I went to about this issue were total Deer in the Head Lights ....

Hi there, Thanks for making this video. I'm getting this car as my first car, but it has this issue. It's great to see I can fix it by myself. Can i just ask, how did you apply the sealant so thin around the edges of the tape/vents and on the top seam? Just by hand? Any tips would be great as I am getting the car tomorrow and would like to fix it as soon as possible. Thanks again for the helpful video!

I think the solution to our 63 plate Fiesta was cleaning and treating with Gummi Pflege Rubber Protection the foam gasket on the back of the rear light cluster and cleaning the body work behind. I think the water ingress was from a build up of dirt between body work and the foam gasket breaking the seal and allowing water through in longer periods of rain. All the behind the bumper stuff had already been done to no avail. Took a year to track this down!

From the comments seems to be common problem. Butyl tape works well as a barrier for lights if the original cushion is damaged.

Mines leaking from the top applied sealant but still seems to be leaking, would it come from the side bit of the roof where the plastic panel is running down and meets the seams? If so how do you get that plastic panel off?

Good video. My car has started to do this. I bought it brand new in 2012. But this will be a job for spring.

This is a fantastic video, I followed this and fixed my water leak, very much appreciated. No water, no leaks noticed now with the serve rain we have had recently in Feb ’24 (UK). I followed this video and managed to stop all the water slipping into my Ford Fiesta Mk7 59 plate. The boot had water in it and it had also gone into the rear passenger carpets footwells. Took a while to dry out. I think my water leak was coming from the two holes that are just covered up by tape, these are located behind the rear bumper, very poor design from Ford and also wear the main body meets the rear boot panel, just below the roof gutter as per the video. I sealed the joints at the top between the main body and rear panels, Changed both rear vents for brand new ones from Ford (approx. £20.00 each) and sealed the outer side of them with Tigerseal (purchased from Halfords - this is a great product, very flexible and rock solid) Removed the old tape that was covering the two holes on either side of the rear bumper (tape was coming off and the holes were exposed) - used body filler and spray sealant to make this a permanent closure, sealed around the various grommets around the light fittings. Ford Air Inlet vent part number: 4858452 I used the following products, purchased from Halfords Gorilla Tape Black Extra Strong ISOPN Body Filler P.40 with hardener Davids ISOPON Aluminium Mesh Halfords Anti-rust Primer Grey Tigerseal Black 310ml - this is so good and extremely strong/flexible, highly recommend Thank you again for this great video.

Where would i get new rubber seals and grommets from. Had a leak since i got my fiesta. Need to fix or sell

Hey, at first sorry for my english. I got the same Problem as many. Water in the trunk of my car. At first there was water comming from the roof. I have got it fixed with some silikon stuff. Now the problem is, that water comes in when i drive on wet streets. I already fixed all the parts behind the rear bumper but there is still getting water in form a bigger hole on the left side of the drunk in the left corner. its next to the airwents behind the water but a little bit more to the right sight of the perspective when you are behind the car. Do you know where it comes from. I can say that it doesnt comes from the airvents. Is it posible that it is comming throw the back fog light? when I removed the light blub there was a little water drop comming out of it. I am not sure if it comes from it because i have never seen someone with the same problem. but maybe you can help me. if you want I can sent you a picture of the hole where it comes from. Lots of thanks!

thanks for this video, also love the production quality, what camera did u use?

Hi there, has the leaking stopped? I have water getting in the boot it’s doing my head on lol

👍 Regards JP

thanks to your video I now will avoid buying Ford Fiesta. I will go for Suzuki Swift.

You are a life saver i thought it was gonna be a job that was going to require a specialist mechanic to fix but i can now save some money lol

Superb simply

Pinche Ford ingeniería de mielda hoy en un 2012 le puse fiber glass y sellé esos hollos que están por defecto de fabrica y los cuadros que son como ventanillas innecesarios tambien las sellé con bondo que porquería
