Boot was wet again this morning.... :(

Anyone had a leaky boot remedied at all?

How did you get on with the boot seal, mate? Is it fixed this time? :?: :rage
Once had a '2006 Lotus Europa - bit more power version' but it leaked real bad!
I'm the unluckiest guy in world when it comes to cars, the last 12months being proof of that!! Why couldn't I just love uncomplicated things instead........................?

Hi mate, how's it going? Boot seal appears to be working but we haven't had loads of rain yet so my fingers are still very much crossed.

What about you? You back driving your own car yet???

Hi mate. Fingers crossed its worked this time then. We must be the only 2 Lotus owners in the world that are hoping for some rain! Like you, I'm waiting for a down pour to test it. At least I've got it back at the moment. Hopefully see you about soon.
