My son is a car mechanic, and when I told him about the leak on my C1, he showed me this video. I'm not good at DIY, but I was able to fix the leaks with your help - thank you.
I am grateful for the different ideas to stop the water leaking into the boot of my C1. However after trying all the various methods e.g. taking off the rear light clusters and sealing the holes where the wire goes through and also the rear centre stop lamp. The water still poured in. I eventually took off the seal around the back boot opening and cleaned it out, it was full of mould where the seal went over the metal edge. Having cleaned it thoroughly I replaced it and the water still poured in. I took the seal off again and put a bead of clear silicone all the way inside the seal where it clips onto the car body. I placed it back and it is now completely sealed - no more water . What I believe was happening was that the water got under the seal and found its way between the two pieces of metal which is where the seal covered it then ran into the boot from various folds and openings below the boot ledge. If you've tried everything else then try this and let me know if it works.
Hi Graham, I used to engineer door seals for Rover and you are quite correct. Water can track over the flange via the carrier. Wind and road noise too. All Rover's (and JLR's these days) seals have a bead of 'mastic' within the carrier to seal it to the flange - in much the same way you've done with silicon. I'd suggest you do the same with your door seals. I've just done this with my Saab's boot seal as part of my crash repair. Good job
Thank You so much for this video. I have a C1. I love the car except the leaking boot! Every time it rains the boot mat is soaking wet and then it takes days to dry out. My Husband used sealant on the rear high level brake light as shown in your video. We had really heavy rain last night and the boot was completely dry this morning!! The windscreen would have frost on the inside when frosty due to amount of moisture inside the car. So pleased this has finally been sorted, thank you.
Thank you so much for this! Very clear instruction on how to track down the leak and fix it! I got a second hand C1 which turned out to have a bad leak in the boot, took it back to the dealer who 'fixed it' - honestly think they just dried out the boot - Then had the seal replaced at my garage £££ and it still leaks. I will try your other suggestions and hopefully one will work. Thank you again - I live in hope now, lol.
Glad it helped! Since making this, i've also learned about the vents that are behind the bumper. They need sealing and you have to remove the bumper. There's also a new seal for the brake light now: th-cam.com/video/2c7aW6k5nvo/w-d-xo.html
I have the same problem with our C1. I was completely sure that it is the tail break light, but it's nice to see that someone else has bothered to explain this to other owners. I think my rear lights seals are ok, but I'll replace these as well just in case. Many thanks!
Watch this boot leak video on my Saab too and treat your tailgate seal the same way with silicone. I'll make a video showing this process on the C1 in the new year th-cam.com/video/_itEJxRSdZI/w-d-xo.html
@@JuanGonzalez-pf2tu Thanks, that's good to know. I do try to cover all the salient points, whilst cutting out the 'flannel', but sometimes it's a fine line. Welcome aboard
My leaking C1 was caused by the high level brake light. After watching multiple videos and reading multiple forums I mucked around with the hatch seal and rear lights for a day before I even considered the brake light. Nobody seems to think the brake light is a problem - but it absolutely was in my case.
This has been very useful. It would have been a shame to lose such a tough little runabout this way after the winter monsoon of 2019, so thanks very much!
Great explanation. You forgot the vent holes behind the bumper. There is a foam sealing too which is totally inadequate. I replaced it with sanitary sealing. This was my 80% leakage. Rest is probably left lights or top brake light.
Getting the rear bumper off my aygo is so hard to do imp. Cant get the things underneath out of it. I fixed the other things hopefully that is enough..
The foam between my rear light clusters and the bodywork had completely perished, so I doubled up the foam seal strip. I also ran a bead of silicone around the base of it to make double sure. Great video.
Yeah, it's not the best foam in the world. The only problem with using silicon is that you might have to destroy the new foam next time you need to change a bulb. I'm currently looking for suitable LED bulbs to do a complete cluster conversion, then it [probably] won't matter if it's fully sealed.
@@CycloneCyd I only used silicone around the base where the new seal adheres to the bodywork, just to help keep it in place and add another layer of waterproofing - the top just squishes against the light cluster assembly.
We have a Citroen C1, paid £10k for it just under 1 year ago from the main dealer in Worthing, and the car leaks like a bitch. Now I know what I have ti do thanks to this video, I will make a start. Thank you for the easy diagnostics you've explained.
Brilliant video thank you and just frustrating you have to go to this trouble for this car in the first place. Very clear instructions and really appreciated.
Thanks for this video. I found an inch of water in the spare wheel well this morning and the carpet was soaked! Now I have an idea where to start looking 👍
Start at the top brake light. I've a seperate video on that with links to a replacement seal in the description. th-cam.com/video/2c7aW6k5nvo/w-d-xo.html
Just bought a cheap C1 with no boot carpet , so assuming a water issue , this is a good vid for the potential problems and how to sort them without spending a fortune ,cheers :)
Thanks for an excellent video. I've followed alot of peoples advice on the water leaks. But still had a problem with water coming down the rear panel. From what you've said this will fix it. Many thanks. Keep up the great videos 👍
So great I found this, sounds like its definitely going to be that top brake light as the boot is wet on the sides only inside the car but water has been filling in the spare tyre mould. Will get some silicone and try this fix, I'm almost 100% sure this will solve it. Thanks so much!
Hallo, did the work on my rearlights and the 3rd brake light as you explained in this great video on my Peugeot 107, and no more water in the boot since.So a big thank you sir this was very helpfull. Also replaced the interior filter myself thanks to another video of yours. Thanks again,Greetings from holland
Hi there Anjemi, thanks for watching and for the compliment. Do remember to like 👍 the video and consider subscribing. There'll be more C1 🚘 stuff coming later in the year 📅 hopefully (it's far too reliable, hardly ever needs work, lol 😎)
Very useful video ! This has just happened to me after some heavy rain. It may have been happening before but nothing i had noticed. I cleaned everything, leaving things to dry and i will investigate as to which of these 3 parts have failed me! 😄
I had water in the boot of mine as well, fixed the leak by just wrapping some bitumen (commonly used to seal off speakers) on the contact patches of the rear lights and the brake light. Since then, no more leakage.
This video is fabulous! My car has been falling apart recently (back windows fell off and smashed, and now my horn beeps when I turn my wheel) and to top it all off I have a leak that's so bad my windscreen is covered in water droplets every morning! I have already fixed the back windows myself but I didn't realise about the other 2 places it could leak. I'm so glad I found your videos to help me out!
Hi Kate, Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Welcome aboard. Is yours a 5 door? And was it the rear door glass that fell out? Came detached from it's hinges?
@@CycloneCyd yes it is a five door :) it was the back side windows that fell off the hinges (the glue just disintegrated) unfortunately one fell off when I was driving and smashed so I had to claim off my insurance and ring autoglass to get a replacement, then the night of the window being fixed I went outside to look at it and found my other one had fallen off! I just glued that one back on with some windscreen sealant and it seems to have worked but last week I got a recall letter from Citroen about the windows falling off. It's a bit late now, Haha!
@@katewc Hello again Kate, thought as much. I was going to tell you about the recall. I'd say take it in for the recall action anyway. That way your second window will be fixed properly and you won't have the lack of recall work for someone to knock you down with should you ever sell the car. The horn beeping thing could be the clockspring behind the steering wheel. There are several C1 breakers on the Facebook forums so a 2ndhand one shouldn't be hard to find.
Just fixed a water leak around the light cluster on my C1 thanks to your tips and used your other video on light cluster removal too. Might be nominating you for an MBE mate.
Cheers mate good video. My main leak was the middle brake light, I removed it cleaned off the old gasket applied a beed of black silicon,fitted it back to the car cleaned off the excess silicon beautiful job. Oh shit I had forgot to connect the lights plug what a Donkey. So today I removed the light again, it was a bit of a struggle getting it out ,but with the help of a credit card inserted between the light and the car I managed .After cleaning of the old silicon which is a B of a job , refitted it cured . My secondary leak is on the door gasket at the bottom 150mm to the right of the catch .When I lifted that section of seal it looks like water is tracking under the gasket and over the lip where the door seal fits. I put some grease on this and refitted the seal to see if that is indeed the case . Will let you know. Have a nice Christmas . Andy
Hi Andrew, thanks for recounting your experience. Who amongst us has never done that eh? You can't learn from mistakes you don't make, lol!! Do you mean water is tracking around the seal carrier / body flange interface? better quality seals on more expensive cars have a mastic sealant deep in the carrier to prevent that. Take the seal off all round and use a very fine nozzle to put silicon bead dep in the carrier and put back.
The C1/107 seal does have a white mastic sealant in the groove of the seal - where it contacts the bodywork of the car. It's a kind of putty-like substance. I have two broken seals in my garage to prove this - one of which is the original from my late 2011 C1. If I was to use grease, I would go for silicone grease to avoid damaging the EDPM rubber.
You are great! You have more knowledge as my Toyota workshop in Hamburg, Germany. There, they are idiots. I had this problem with water in my trunk in my Toyota Aygo a lot of times in the past 15 years. The only idea the guys at the workshop had was to replace the rubber that encloses the trunk hood for two times. With no effect. To everything bad I had the feeling that at the 2nd time where I paid for a new rubber I could swear they charged me with the amount for this work, but the rubber was not exchanged. Thank you very much for your helpful video! 🙂
@@CycloneCyd Youve got a really clear way of explaining how you determine where the leak in. Just as a heads up, it might be good to include the vents under the rear bumper too. After sealing the top and side brake lights didn't work, I found the seals around the vents had failed completely on my 107
Leak from high brake light, great vid thanks. Resealed, still leak, resealed rear lights, still leak, checked seal around glass which was ok, eventually found leak was getting behind rubber seal so removed, cleaned and filled with silicone sealant. All dry, YAY!
I'm having the same issue! Had new light unit fitted as was told water was coming in through there, still leaking, now mechanic has said it could be the tailgate seal only available from main dealer..car full of condensation now, did you put silicone under the tailgate seal and around it?
Thank you for the tips, I got the x8r seals kit off ebay and I've changed the seals on the rear light clusters. I couldn't unfortunately get the middle light off as once the screws were out it seems the previous owners had glued it on and when trying to take it off the plastic was starting to crack so I left it in situ and have used clear sealant round it to try and help! The bottom of the carpet was soaked so hoping these changes help!
Thanks for this. Been quoted £125 at the garage to remedy my boot leak on my Aygo. I've done the silicone on the tail light first, if this doesn't remedy I'll try the other options. I already had clear silicone sealant and the rest of the tools to sort this, so fingers crossed it done. If not the clear instructions and ease of the job to do the rest doesn't worry me. Especially as you'll of saved me £125! TOP MAN Cheers :-)
Hi Julie, the high level brake light is especially common as the gasket breaks down, so I'd suggest doing that anyway. Water getting in here also damages the bulb holder contacts and can render it useless.
Thank you! Thank you for describing where the water would be going from the break light. I reckon that's my issue as both sides of the carpet were wet rather then the centre. I'll wait for a dry day before I have a go at this. Bloomin leaky car, my inside light is leaking as well 😅
Hi Dima, thanks for watching and interacting. Yes, they do. I'm intending to do a separate video on that, including it here would have made this video too long.
Many thanaks for the that . My c1 has been to the garage 5 times for water leaks in the boot . I now have spent hundreds in trying to get it fixed , new lights etc . Looking at you video i now think it could be the top brake lights ( i think you called then the Chmsl ? ) . Next Tuesday it goes in again , 6th time in 3 years of mopping up in the boot . Fingers crossed . Many thanks .
I think you'd be better DIYing. Most garages aren't fit to service a walking stick IMO. Diagnosis by guesswork - lots of profit for them, precious little in it for you.
Nice work thanks i have sealed up the high mount brake light and fitted new bulbs i am doing the rear lamps next did you remove the old foam from the lamps when you fitted the new stuff ?
Since I made this video, there has been a new product made available: new seals for the lights. Get a pair here (delivery available across Europe): amzn.to/3JijxpF
Hi Cyd Great videos, been very useful. I have a 107 and it has been leaking through the passenger door, do you have a video about how to fix something like that?
Fantastic video - my 107 leaks like a sieve, will be doing these fixes - thanks for the advice. Question, what is the yellow sound deadening you are using on the boot floor over the spare tyre?
Before you launch into it, watch this video. It has a link to the new seals on Amazon in the description too: th-cam.com/video/2c7aW6k5nvo/w-d-xo.html Just a spare piece of carpet underlay. A temporary measure. I'll be doing some proper sound proofing soon following on from this exercise on the Saab th-cam.com/video/gY9CLaJMdxQ/w-d-xo.html
Interesting how common this is, from 128k views. On ours sons, I removed the internal trim and ran a hose over it. Lo and behold, both foam rear light seals were leaking.
Nice informative video CC! The problem I have with my Peugeot 107 is that after a big rain shower the water comes in all the way in the back! Not to the sides behind lights but to the right and mostly to the left - right underneath the cables the passes from right to left.. So where could the leak most likely be? Thanks, Peter
Thank you a great video. Now just to work put where its leaking. The top part of the side carpet lining is dry, bottom damp so I'm thinking seal or light
Tail lights or centre brake lights are the most likely culprits. Watch how I treat my Saab boot seal in this video, then do the same with your tailgate seal and side door seals. th-cam.com/video/_itEJxRSdZI/w-d-xo.html
Really useful video. I have this problem and am about to tackle it. By the way, what was that word you used for the central light above the tailgate? Chinzel? I couldn't find the word in any dictionary, but happy to use it if that's what it is!
Great video Cyd, watched a few of your videos and seem really really useful. I have an older Aygo turning up mid week and want to carry out all these as I know water is getting in the back, what rubber strip and sealant would you recommend for putting on the lights? With sealing the centre light, does it make it very difficult to then get back into for bulbs etc? Great channel mate, subbed and saved videos down ready to follow when carrying out work next week.
Cyclone Cyd thanks Mate, I later searched through comments and found a link to a Visbella silicone gasket sealant so I’ve ordered one of those in hope it’ll be good for the job. Also going to get some storm guard seal from screw fix this morning and some bulbs from me local car parts place. Thanks again mate your videos are great, I’ll update on how successful I am with it.
Any ideas for a citeron c2 2007. Water coming in from the upper break light, back left light unit, and also getting into the back left passenger footwell
Hi cyclone Sid. Great video thanks. I’d like to ask, just how much water do you think the rear vents might let in realistically in normal rainy conditions?
Wow, wet rear seat on a 3 door. On a 5 door it'd be the door seals, but obviously not on a 3 door. New one on me. If you find out will you video or photo it for me? and let me know? Please.
@@CycloneCyd I found out that there was a lot of water in the boot and spare tyre well. So I guess this was splashing around and being absorbed by the seat. I have put mastic on the high brake light and also the both rear lights. It's still early if it's resolved the problem.

I already had clear silicone sealant and the rest of the tools to sort this, so fingers crossed it done. If not the clear instructions and ease of the job to do the rest doesn't worry me. Especially as you'll of saved me £125! TOP MAN Cheers :-)
Hi Julie, the high level brake light is especially common as the gasket breaks down, so I'd suggest doing that anyway. Water getting in here also damages the bulb holder contacts and can render it useless.
This video is very useful. Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
Thank your for this. I had a leak problem with my Toyota Aygo and I can’t seem to find where the leak comes. I have solved it because of your video. 😊
Thanks for the help ! Everything is fine now !
Great to hear!
Thank you! Thank you for describing where the water would be going from the break light. I reckon that's my issue as both sides of the carpet were wet rather then the centre. I'll wait for a dry day before I have a go at this. Bloomin leaky car, my inside light is leaking as well 😅
Yeah, a dry day is best

Excellent advice and very clear 👍
Good easy to follow video. Thank you for the information 👍
thanks . excellent and detailed explanation!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video and very informative well done mate.
Very useful indeed thank you.
You're welcome!
Great clear video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
You are a star perfect tutorial ! Thankyou
Wow, thank you!
Thanks a lot! Saved my day.
Welcome aboard Felicia
Brilliant video! Thanks!
Thank you that was very helpful
You're welcome Narinder.
Nice one, great video. All your videos are really helpful and relevant!
Why, thank you very much. Appreciated.
Many thanks for the good explanation and the great video. Just did my wife's 107 and it's finally dry
Fantastic! pleased for you
thanks , i have a leak in the 3th stop light, help me a lot.
Yeah, I think every car leaks here once the gasket degrades. 👍
Thank you so much. You make it look very easy. I'll check all 3 areas, just in case. Thanks again. =)
Thank you, really helpful and clearly explained.
@cyclonecyd thank you so much for this helpful video.
This cars leak a lot from the seals around the vents under the rear bumper. You need to remove the bumper and reseal them.
Hi Dima, thanks for watching and interacting. Yes, they do. I'm intending to do a separate video on that, including it here would have made this video too long.
Sorry, I didn't read this before saying the same. My comment links to a photo of what happens to the seals of those vents.
Great, thanks, I'll try it
Brake light first - the gasket breaks down
Great Video!
Thanks Andrew
Many thanaks for the that . My c1 has been to the garage 5 times for water leaks in the boot . I now have spent hundreds in trying to get it fixed , new lights etc . Looking at you video i now think it could be the top brake lights ( i think you called then the Chmsl ? ) . Next Tuesday it goes in again , 6th time in 3 years of mopping up in the boot . Fingers crossed . Many thanks .
I think you'd be better DIYing. Most garages aren't fit to service a walking stick IMO. Diagnosis by guesswork - lots of profit for them, precious little in it for you.
Thank you for the video. Very helpful. Cheers.
Very useful! Do you use this car for today?
great video and clearly explained. the problem with my aygo is the water lekkage behind the passengers seat. any idea what this could be ?
I would be checking door seals
Perfect. Thank you
Perfect video!!!
Brilliant, thanks very much, can I ask for the top light can you not just replace seal, or is silicone better
excellent work
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work thanks i have sealed up the high mount brake light and fitted new bulbs i am doing the rear lamps next did you remove the old foam from the lamps when you fitted the new stuff ?
Hi chris, no I left the original foam seal in place, it's about an inch thick so would be quite hard to replace.
@@CycloneCyd ok nice one thanks
When putting some new foam round the lights do you take the old foam off the light while you put the new one off
Since I made this video, there has been a new product made available: new seals for the lights. Get a pair here (delivery available across Europe): amzn.to/3JijxpF
This is a great video, very informative and easy to follow, thank you.
Hi Cyd
Great videos, been very useful. I have a 107 and it has been leaking through the passenger door, do you have a video about how to fix something like that?
No I haven't. It's probably the door seals. I'll look into it and see if I can do a video.
Nice one Cyd. I'll have a do at the daughters Aygo at the weekend. Very helpful video.
did you suss it?
Fantastic video - my 107 leaks like a sieve, will be doing these fixes - thanks for the advice. Question, what is the yellow sound deadening you are using on the boot floor over the spare tyre?
Before you launch into it, watch this video. It has a link to the new seals on Amazon in the description too: th-cam.com/video/2c7aW6k5nvo/w-d-xo.html
Just a spare piece of carpet underlay. A temporary measure. I'll be doing some proper sound proofing soon following on from this exercise on the Saab th-cam.com/video/gY9CLaJMdxQ/w-d-xo.html
@@CycloneCyd fab thanks!
For break light fixing use also butylstrip......
Thank you for the video, do you have a link of the Waterproofrubber seal you use? Kindly regards
Interesting how common this is, from 128k views. On ours sons, I removed the internal trim and ran a hose over it. Lo and behold, both foam rear light seals were leaking.
They're almost designed to leak, lol
Brilliant vid exactly what I needed
Thank you !!
Nice informative video CC! The problem I have with my Peugeot 107 is that after a big rain shower the water comes in all the way in the back! Not to the sides behind lights but to the right and mostly to the left - right underneath the cables the passes from right to left.. So where could the leak most likely be? Thanks, Peter
Very good video, well explained and has sorted my wet boot carpet, thank you so much.
Thanks Rik. Welcome aboard 👍
Thanks very good ✌🏻👏🏻
Terrific...thanks
Did it solve your problems? The air vents behind the bumper can be trouble too.
where did you buy the black self adeshive water proof tape from thanks
Do you mean the foam tape for around the aperture behind the main lights. Some of this in 15mm wide by 10mm thick: bit.ly/EPDM_seling_strip
@@CycloneCyd, Yes the foam tape can't find anything in UK
Is there a link for the trim removal tool?
A couple of alternatives:
bit.ly/Trim_tools_basic
bit.ly/Trim_Tools_comprehensive
GR8, so clear & precise, thanks a lot!
Thanks Pea. Welcome aboard
Thanks for the tips
Thank you a great video. Now just to work put where its leaking. The top part of the side carpet lining is dry, bottom damp so I'm thinking seal or light
Tail lights or centre brake lights are the most likely culprits. Watch how I treat my Saab boot seal in this video, then do the same with your tailgate seal and side door seals. th-cam.com/video/_itEJxRSdZI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, this video was so helpful :)
Thanks Fiona. Welcome aboard.
Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@CycloneCyd thank you for sharing your video with advices.
God bless you Sir.
Really useful video. I have this problem and am about to tackle it. By the way, what was that word you used for the central light above the tailgate? Chinzel? I couldn't find the word in any dictionary, but happy to use it if that's what it is!
CHMSL, pronounced chim-sel, stands for Centre High Mounted Stop lamp
What size self adhesive foam tape is best for use around the rear lights?
There's a link in the description to a suitable foam.
Merci pour l'information j'ai le problème d'infiltration d'eau dans ma c1
Yes I did Thankyou very much
Great video Cyd, watched a few of your videos and seem really really useful. I have an older Aygo turning up mid week and want to carry out all these as I know water is getting in the back, what rubber strip and sealant would you recommend for putting on the lights?
With sealing the centre light, does it make it very difficult to then get back into for bulbs etc?
Great channel mate, subbed and saved videos down ready to follow when carrying out work next week.
Any black silicon sealer is okay. Put new bulbs in when you do it.
Cyclone Cyd thanks Mate, I later searched through comments and found a link to a Visbella silicone gasket sealant so I’ve ordered one of those in hope it’ll be good for the job. Also going to get some storm guard seal from screw fix this morning and some bulbs from me local car parts place. Thanks again mate your videos are great, I’ll update on how successful I am with it.
A really good and easy to follow tutorial 🙂
Thank you Ron.
@@CycloneCyd you're very welcome, next time I have a question about my 107 and your video appears in the answers, I will definitely click on it 🙂
Hi😊
I'm very thankful for this video and your work👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks from a tunesian guy in Germany 😁 🫶🏼🫵🏼
Any ideas for a citeron c2 2007. Water coming in from the upper break light, back left light unit, and also getting into the back left passenger footwell
Hi cyclone Sid. Great video thanks.
I’d like to ask, just how much water do you think the rear vents might let in realistically in normal rainy conditions?
Oh, the rear vents _can_ let in loads. I haven't done ours, we don't seem to have a problem with them. You need to take the bumper off to get at them.
Thanks, helpful
You're welcome!
What could be causing a wet rear seat on a 2009 C1 3 door?
Yes.water dripping down .got same problem
Wow, wet rear seat on a 3 door. On a 5 door it'd be the door seals, but obviously not on a 3 door. New one on me. If you find out will you video or photo it for me? and let me know? Please.
@@CycloneCyd I found out that there was a lot of water in the boot and spare tyre well. So I guess this was splashing around and being absorbed by the seat. I have put mastic on the high brake light and also the both rear lights. It's still early if it's resolved the problem.
@@jazzyman99 makes sense. Hope you've fixed it
High level brake light leaking as in the video. That was the problem with my Aygo, wet seat & puddle in the boot.
