Water leaking into Tailgate

Its an absolute pain in the butt isn't it....!

I have had my Q5 for approaching 2 years and like you, after every rain shower the water runs into the boot via the tailgate ends when opened.

I have read on other sites that Audi do have a fix that involves adding extra packing tape under the tailgate mounted rear spoiler ~ From what I can see, I think it just forces the water to take an extended journey to the water channels at the sides of the boot rather than just drip into the boot.

All that said, I have chosen to live with the annoying drips rather than have some 'garage monkey' take my car apart and try to fix it with some additional sticky tape.

By the way, if you partially open the boot (just a couple of feet), let the initial water run off and then open fully you should be okay.

Cheers,

Lee.

Thank you - good to know it's not just me that finds this a pain in what is otherwise a great car..... seems as though it's something I'll just have to get used to dealing with during our great British summer! On the upside though - I now know how to partially open the boot when using the electronic tailgate - thanks for the tip
