Water ingress into rear door, setting off alarm

Post by Teflonaid »

Hi,

New to the Caddy world, so Hello all.

I have a 14 plate caddy with normal rear doors (not barn, cant remember the name), and every so often the rear door states its opened, wether im driving or its locked up.

I have read that the top brake light can allow ingress but i have tested this with no luck, i can visblely see the water or my rear lower latch when it occurs. hair dryer and the blue roll has been sorting it temporarily.

also tried silicon spray ? but the water still puddles inside the latch i assume.

i thought about filling the hole as best i could that the wires flow though at the bottom of the door to the latch ?


Any help would be hugely appreciated !
