1997 z3 trunk leak
7 Answers
check any seals and gutters as the seals perish and gutters get blocked
check seal around light on trunk lid. you might be able to seal it with a silicone caulk. this will stop leak.
one area to watch is the cavity behind the door where the roof folds into, there is a drain in there that can cause your issue, it can also lead to other electrical problems if not seen to.
Thank you, Luke, for the suggestion. I think it is on the right track. Is this cavity and drain something I can get to and clean out myself, without taking the top off? If so, can you make some suggestions on how to do so? This would be fab if I could take care of it myself!
it may be possible with the roof in a half open position, a long nossel air blower will work well to flush the drain out.
I have a leak into the trunk of my 1997 BMW Z3 -- water collects in battery compartment and into back of trunk area. I see the answer here to check gutters that may be blocked. Can you tell me where these gutters are and how to best check for blocks? Thanks! L
check your gutters and any seals-this is a common prob
