Condensation in boot lid

HI it could be from the rear brake light, quite a common issue unfortunately. Pop in leaky boot in the search bar, loads threads and tips, hope you get it sorted.

 

Hi funny enough spent all yesterday getting my car ready for winter. I got the cover from storm cover uk, ill be totally honest it doesn't look much but I do put my car away over winter as I have poor eye sight and driving in the dark is no good for me , however the cover stood up to really bad weather we had up here last year and when uncovered in Feb the car looked fab! Its a pain to take off and put on as there are straps that go right under the car, ive also got the anti theft on it with a padlock. I'd recommend it but not for ease of use removing daily etc.

 

One thing may be worth trying as a temporary measure, and actually I still do this and dont have condensation now is get some old tights lol, cut one of the legs off and fill it with wood cat litter, tie the end and put in the dip in the boot, not the lower bit where the ecu is but under the carpet and in the middle of the boot, sort of middle of the metal if that makes sense. The cat litter will absorb any moisture much better than the dehumidifier pads you get and much cheaper. Replace regularly say monthly if it needs it until you can maybe get the break light resealed.

 

Hi,

Just to hopefully help. I use a similar approach as the cat litter but use dried rice instead in a large open tray. I also take the rice indoors occasionally and stick in the airing cupboard to dry it out again and reuse. Seems to work well, though I need to remember it's there before I go for drives to avoid the rice going everywhere.

I'm also a little sad in as much as I open the boot on cold days to allow it to "fill" with some nice dry air - that is air with low levels of humidity - as this is less likely to condense later. I am also fortunate to have the car in the garage too, which helps avoids frost etc.
