Great tip for anyone with an MG/Rover. Boot leaks are quite common on them. Swapping the gaskets over is genius .My Rover75 boot leaks like a sieve, but my MG TF is dry as a bone. Weird.
I guarantee that your 75 has the same issue. It's a handy job.
It's either the light seals on the 75 or the spot welds where the Chrome strip is on side of car.
I'm looking forward to the rest of these.
Splendid well done 👏🏼 good demo and info 👍🏼 thank you from England 🏴
If only you had posted this a week ago. I have a Rover 25, exact same problem, exactly the same solution. But I didn’t realise it was the lights. I spent hours fiddling and sealing boot seal. Penny dropped eventually.
Well when I eventually get the Delorean, I'll go back in time and put that right for you! 😉

Thanks for that, just cleaned and swapped the seals over. The nuts on the leaky side were falling off, slowly finding things after buying car last year.
Will see if the seals need replacing or gluing up after a bit of rain.
As always a great job & thorough explanation..👍
Thanks very much!
Nice neat job that.
Brilliant and informative video Ross and a simple little fix as well.
Thanks! 😎
Thanks I will need to do this one day
You're welcome! Get it done before the winter takes hold! 👍😉
We found the trunk
Given that the gasket has to fit into three cut outs in the light fitting I would have fitted it to the light housing first
But that's just what they'd be expecting you to do!
Grazie milleeee!!!!🔝🔝🔝
Great video, i did this on my mgf a week ago after seeing this. Also checked the drain plugs underneath the interiorcloth in the trunk.
But still its a bit damped. I've been parked underneath my carport, no driving, not exposed to the rain. Checked the rubberseals of the trunklit, but there is no leak and they are pretty new. Any ideas where i should/could look next?
It might be just residual moisture. What have you done to dry it out?
This sorted the problem on mine as well 👍
