All things come to those who wait.....whether you want them or not!
I had the car checked over for the leaking high mount brake light and the rusting screws on the chrome cover back in April when it was in for a service and the garage reported that all was OK. We've driven through some fairly heavy rain in the year or so we've had the car and never seen any sign of leaks so I assumed we'd escaped this problem. Wrong! I opened the tailgate this morning (after leaving the car outside in the torrential rain we had in Sydney last night) only to find a steady stream of water dripping from the joint in the plastic mouldings that fit around the inside top section of the window. I guessed what the problem was and sure enough when I showed the guy in the garage he agreed......it's the gasket around the brake light. No issues at all in getting it replaced but they couldn't do it immediately as they didn't have the part in stock. So they've ordered a new gasket and I'll get it fitted on Wednesday. Just hope the rain eases off between now and then, otherwise I dread to think where the water will seep into.
