Our AU2 XR6 leaked in boot every time I lifted the bootlid got about a cup of water fall straight into boot area, I also thought it was the spolier, removed it silcon and new gaskets problem fixed ! NO WAY it wasnt spolier so car went back to Avoncity ford who said " these spoilers dont leak into boot its the number plate screws on to boot lid "" so went home took them both out smeared slicon on them replaced and also smeared slicon on inside of lid where screw poke thru .problem fixed! YES and it hasnt leaked since been dry for last 6 months and car stays outside in all weather

Check the tail lights, VR VS and VTs were well known for this. They actually leak through the lense itself.Does your taillight have water in it!

I was told by the holden mechanic I used to take it to, that the water pools in the gutter area by the hinge then overwhelms the seal.

check both rear body 1/4 windows behind rear doors. Had a bad habit of leaking in earlier models (VP) & simple case of taking window out & resealing

# 7 is correct - also if you park downhill. Easy fix is to drill a hole in the spare wheel well. I have never had the problem since.

Yep I agree with this (and tail lights but not as common as 1/4 windows), take out the boot trim- you'll need 2 people a torch and a hose, start low with hose and move up, person in boot (with boot closed!) with torch should be able to find the leak.

But remove spare wheel first. for obvious reasons.

Yup, keep it simple. Find the source of the leak.

Thats why Holden started making Commodore utes after several years after the kingswood style ute there was no ute available.because Holden got tired of trying to keep the rear window and boot lid from leaking!
