Scottish Elises

Noticed the carpets are damp in the boot. car is garaged every night but is outside all day. With all the recent rain it's not surprising. Any idea on a fix, can I adjust the engine cover to get a better seal? How do you adjust?

Undo the striker pin in the engine compartment, move it down a little, tighten it up and close boot. That should pull the boot in a little tighter though it might mean it isn't quite flush against the rear clam anymore.

Without looking take it there is adjustment on the bolts attaching the striker pin/plate to the car?

Mine's exactly the same. Have tried adjusting but as soon as there's a cloud in the sky the boot still fills up.

Have now decided this is a 'feature'. Couple of goldfish in there and job's a good'un.

(Sheer laziness, not much help to you, but deffo. the path of least resistance and stress)

Drill some holes on the boot floor...

used to have crabs - but thats another story!

in my S1 the drain holes in the lid of the boot always choke with pine needles etc. A length of cable run down the drain until it comes out in the wheelarch does the trick.
