Thanks for taking the time to make this video - you helped another Jazz owner solve the leaky boot issue!

[@jpchow4617]

I used automotive grade Wurth's window panel sealant. It's silicone based and clear. Worked like a charm! Thanks from Canada.

[@adriancross8105]

Just found out that we have water getting in our Honda jazz, now I know where to look and what to do, brilliantly explained, thank you. 😊😊

[@billsinclair6515]

excellent thanks, just bought an 06 1200 which is bone dry so i am going to pre-emptively do these jobs, your videos are very useful, nice to see a fellow Scot on KZbin man

[@Jennifer-lg8gn]

You are truly amazing! I had so much water in my boot there were ducks and swans swimming around! Ordered the putty, it's arriving tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help.

[@ScottishCarClan]

Good luck! 😁👍🏼

[@marvellousm]

Thanks for this video! I'm looking to buy a 2010 Fit and I checked one out yesterday and noticed a little water in the spare tire well. I wanted to make sure this was something I could fix before paying out for her. Thanks again!

[@JACKYBOY281]

Great video .I have had my jazz for 7 years ,lovely car . It gets a wet boot so now i know how to fix.. Thanks for that

[@Sasucake]

Absolute legend been dealing with this problem for ages !!! Love ya

[@erniefoster1158]

We had a Flagan of water in the Boot, plus both seats were wet and water on the floor. Many thanks!

[@Althemusicman1]

The civic's have the same issue, I used sugru mouldable glue on my car and it worked great. 👍

[@pielight7449]

Great channel. I just successfully fixed my Mk8 civic which was leaking in the very same place. I used 'Captain Tolleys' (as have others) which is brilliant. It is a white liquid which is almost as fluid a water (like skimmed milk) and you literally just dribble it into the offending crack. It will find it's way into wherever water can go. Repeat at 30 minute intervals...I applied two lots then waited 24 hours and applied a third for good measure (I ran out of light or I could have just waited another 30 minutes). I waited a further 24 hours (time it takes to fully cure) before using the car to ensure body panel movement did not break the seal before it properly set. It is flexible so allows for movement). When applying you can see it disappearing down the crack. You know it's sealed once it no longer drains away. The icing on the cake it dries clear and therefore is more or less invisible. Extremely quick and easy solution that is very effective. I successfully used this or a similar product many years ago on a leaking caravan.

[@ScottishCarClan]

Sounds like a great product for it - thanks for commenting!

[@ajcarver1]

Is the Captain Tolley's still working for your Mk8 Civic? It didn't work on this guy's VW van. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXKWqmt5jZZ_qKc

[@pielight7449]

@@ajcarver1 Yes... still bone dry 10 weeks and around 1800 miles and much heavy rainfall later. It only fills cracks up to 1mm....who knows what was going on behind the rubber seal in the video? Also doing it so soon after testing with water would have resulted in plenty of water still being present when more Tolleys' was added which would have adversely affected things. I used a compressed air line to blow through the cracks which would have dislodged any water. Just as, or even more effective, would have been to leave it until dry hot weather. I also got the much larger bottle and used liberally.

[@pielight7449]

Quick update.....11 months and countless gallons of rain on, Captain Tolley's is still working. It's that easy to do, I thought about dribbling more in to the areas where the panel sealant cracks, just in case the Tolley's is failing anywhere, but I'll leave it just out of curiosity to see how long it lasts.

[@mauriciolazo]

You solved an issue I’ve had for a couple of years. Thank you kind human!

[@natalieleathers]

Project for the weekend! Thanks

[@Prayforthesegainss]

Man… I literally just looked in my boot and my spare tyre footwell is FULL of water HAHAHAHAH thank you for this video!

[@GisRewentlow]

i have the same problem now. I will try this, and share the result. Thank you.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Great little how to guide to help people there Grant.

[@faroukkhan6777]

Thanks,, and leaks on floor in front any idea where?? both sides

[@Justin-e2t2g]

You are my hero mate!!! I thought my leaky boot was a much harder fix. Would this also apply to the "Freedom Jazz" Aka Fit?

[@ScottishCarClan]

Correct yes, also applies to Fit 😁👍🏼

[@Fauxlie]

OMG i just found my whole boot full of water - lifesaver haha :)

[@oakphoto784]

Awesome. Just made my new bargain car even more of a bargain. Thanks buddy! 🙌🏻

[@ScottishCarClan]

Your very welcome!

[@bobbyse26]

Good video, is there any prep required?

[@avishsingh3622]

Nice easy video with explanations

[@wn2663]

I've got water coming in from near the rear view mirror area and sometimes near the fixing points for the sun visors.. Is it the windscreen seal? Have a Jazz 2007

[@ScottishCarClan]

You got a sunroof? If not then yes likely windscreen seal - recent replacement?

[@wn2663]

@@ScottishCarClan not long had the car (since last month). But it could be the aerial I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ will see if it's that first as apparently they can end up breaking the windscreen so might be a full replacement :/

[@harveywhite3001]

@@wn2663 apparently arial one is a common leak too

[@SelfConfessedLegend]

Did you find out about the leak coming through the rear view mirror? Was it the aerial or the windscreen seal? My Mrs car has the same problem.

[@wingmangt]

Just get a pool guy to clean spare tire area from time to time :D. In all seriousness it is good you are showing one of the most annoying jazzy common issue. Also you can use polyurethane sealant for those. Mine has been holding up for an year now :).

[@ScottishCarClan]

Good to know! but yes if all else fails call the pool guy! haha

[@umairidrees7291]

What do you mean by pool guy?

[@molnarbence1997]

Thanks for the help mate!

[@ScottishCarClan]

No problem 👍

[@anncothromoir1018]

I have a leak in the rear footwells of my '10 Jazz, but not the boot - could it be coming from the rear doors or the central pillar maybe?

[@JC-hu1wd]

Likely the lower part of the door seals and or the vapour shields behind the door cards. Sorted mine but was a real pain diagnosing.

[@annmccormack9830]

I shall try this thanyou so much x

[@AC-db4ek]

is water friendly japanese design. Remember they like to eat fresh fish so they like to have a pool inside the car where they can keep the fish to eat as a snack.

[@danielortega8959]

Thanks for guidance

[@ewanlynch654]

Simple and easy. Cheers

[@piecetoyou8285]

Great shout out, but as metal expands in heat and shrinks in cold I would go with something more silicon industrial stuff, it may be a better option,

[@CalvinKok-p4v]

Is it same method to solve this on honda jazz GK?

[@shahidt8872]

Thank you sir

[@edwardhodgson3994]

Would silicone sealant do the job? I’ve got a bit of that in the garage😅

[@harveywhite3001]

I reckon it would work

[@adiwilson42]

I was just about to buy a new seal

[@jaysgamingandbuildsc5533]

Theres 2 more place and thats behind the rear lights housing,

[@turboduckhead6179]

My mum got a newer Jazz and I got her old MK2. Do you know how to use the tyre repair kit?

[@ScottishCarClan]

What type of kit is it ? Just a generic can of sealant or something fancier?

[@turboduckhead6179]

@@ScottishCarClan It's different from the Hotls tyre weld in a can. It comes in a plastic bottle like bitchumen.

[@m23605]

No mention of how easy and likely it is for the catalytic converters to be stolen on these in this or the previous video. Any chance you could review the successor of this model? It is in my price range but not sure if it has the same issues as this model (cat theft and leaks). Also, I have no idea how to differentiate between the plethora of Jazz/Fits out there so any tips in identifying the correct model would also help (GPx or GKx, etc...).

[@ScottishCarClan]

Hey! The later jazzes don’t have the cats underneath so it’s not possible to steal them in the same way as these GD jazzes.

[@m23605]

@@ScottishCarClan So the one in the video is vulnerable but the next gen up should be fine (don't know which ones are GD)?

[@ScottishCarClan]

@@m23605 correct. The one in the video is the GD. Later ones have the cats situated in such a way that they can’t just be quickly cut off.

[@keirdavies]

I've found a small amount of silicon in the bottom of boot lip did the trick for me. My tip would be, if you take off the plastics on the inside and follow the rust.

[@brookfabian5470]

Brilliant video, thank you. I’ve had my Jazz for nearly two years and just noticed a small amount of water in the spare tyre well. Watched the vid and checked the areas and I can see someone has already resealed it both sides. There’s a lot of sealant in both corners which has been painted over to match the body colour. Has anyone got any experience with this? Should I rip the whole lot out and start from scratch or get some Captain Tolley’s and go over the top with that? It’s not letting much in right now so I don’t want to open a can of worms but do t want it to get worse.

[@ScottishCarClan]

Sounds like that may be factory sealant Brook, that's usually what the cracks start to form in. Id leave that on there and apply over the top.

[@brookfabian5470]

@@ScottishCarClan thanks. It’s definitely been applied post factory as it’s not particularly neat but it has been sprayed. Maybe done by a used dealer to cover up the issue. I’ve never used Captain Tolleys but presumably if I clean up what’s there and tip a load of that down it then it should find the leak right?
