- Apologies for the poor camera I used, but I just had to get it out there and pay it forward.
The plastic grommets that will probably break are part number OEM 13336985, I believe.
That is what some clever clogs added to one of the comments below.

IT’s people like this fella who are heroes in this world. Did he need to video and show us? No. Did he need to waste his valuable time to show us how to fix it? No. Top bloke.
Thanks for the lovely message
Amen
Thanks very much for that, I owe you a drink.Because of your videos I tackled it with confidence and cuered the problem.Dave.
Finally a video I have been searching for I've had the same problem with mine I thought that they were welded on so didnt try getting them off sure enough the one on the right hand side was the culprit all sorted now great vid thank you 👍🏻
Glad I could have been of service.
Excellent video. I had exactly same problem with my insignia. Followed the video and used new sealant. So far the car is dry. Thanks for uploading.
You're very welcome
This is a good post. It is exactly like mine. Wet damp mouldy inside the wheel arch, rear seat wet and mouldy around seat belts. I've got the knowledge to fix this annoying problem. Thank you so much. Dek
I have the exact same issue 😩 mould over the headrest/boot and seat etc on the back driver side, would you have any recommendations on cleaning the mould? Thanks in advance I just don’t know how to tackle it and stop it coming back, I have a tiny baby and hate taking him in the car atm x
Legend... I'll be checking mine as i too keep getting wet and mould in my boot.. cheers for the video. Thumbed up.
SuperDixxxie no worries, I’m glad I could help.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TOOK THE BOOT CARPET OUT TOOK THE PLASTIC PANEL OFF THEN I PUT SEALANT AROUND THE TOP PLASTIC CAP I WILL TEST IT WITH WATER TO SEE IF IT WORKED
IT DID THE TRICK
@@jayali5515 Nice one Jay. Mines still dry... i think lol
adbarretttth....Just an update. Did mine about a month back after watching this vlog and now my boot is dry as a bone. Just wish i'd done it 2 years ago lol. I thought it was just water dripping in when i opened boot. Thanks again mate...Dixie
SuperDixxxie no worries, helping at least one other person is all I wanted, and your message has cheered me up no end. Enjoy your weather tight Siggy on me!
Nice one mate
Could you explain how did you pop the plastic grommets without damaging them. I tried on one of mine (levering with flat screw driver, and broke it completely). Thanks
Thank you it was driving me mad. I really don’t understand why they did this
I have same car same leak thought it was coming from Ariel ,thanks for help, its been driving me nuts
Nice one been looking for this leak for the last 2 winters👌
Tgm wills glad to help
Yes so was I busy busy, where's that water coming from. This video is the dogs, got the knowledge to fix.
aha thanks for this - drove to work today and in the rear mirror saw water drop right in the middle of the edge of roofing
Thanks mate. Mines doing this. Going to go and fix it now.
bugaboo171 hope it fixes it mate!
Did you manage to resolve yours? If so, could you explain how did you pop the plastic grommets without damaging them. I tried on one of mine (levering with flat screw driver, and broke it completely). Thanks
@ OEM 13336985
Top man, that'll save me looking. Exactly the same issue. 👍👍
Had the same issue today. Followed the video so fingers crossed it works. Thanks Anyway
Why do they cut it out anyway and then plug it? Why not leave the metal as a sheet. No need for none of this. I’d never buy another Vauxhall again. Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
It looks like them cut outs are used to route the wiring looms through the vehicle.
I have issues with water coming in and collecting in the same place as yours but on an astra k!
Any ideas as to where water would be coming in on drivers footwell of insignia 2015? Thank you for sharing this video. Your amazing
Sorry can't help you there. I haven't got the car anymore either.
The answer to my nemesis!! Boot was wading in water and wrecking everything. Away to get properly repaired now.
great video - easy to follow - thanks - mine has this problem so will sort and let you know how it went!!
I have ASTRA J 2010. I think this is same problem. Will Check now. Cheers.
Savage, thanks for the video!
Thank you buddy that's helped a lot
Ive only just bought my Insignia and i was washing it the other and noticed water leaking on both sides. I will give it a look and hopefully stop water getting in
Just a thought. Instead of the hassle of getting of getting off that part. Can you just not mastic around it? Cheers if any one help.
I have same issue but my is 2012 and the trunk is built different
Many thanks for the video. Mine has been doing this for a while, on both sides and this video will help me fix it myself. I tried popping the plastic grommets out and I have already snapped one into pieces. Can anyone who has carried out this procedure suggest a good and easy way to do it without damaging them? Also, anyone know where to find a replacement for the damaged ones? Thanks
Jesús García is this them? rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232278591656
I'll answer myself. Rather than using a flat head screw driver to pop them out (which will eventually break them ) a better approach is to use a shoe lace or similar. Simply lift part of the round plastic tab with a flat head screw driver or similar, push the shoe lace under and around the round plastic tab and then push a little bit. The plastic grommet should come out right off. Mind this only worked for the 3 smaller plastic grommets. The bigger ones on each of the sides needed breaking into (actually the shoe lace will also break them). My leak is finally fixed, though I simply cleaned the top surface thoroughly and sealed over the plastic covers with hot glue around and over. Now time to find some replacement grommets to finish the job!
@@adbarretttth Those are likely to work but at least are not the same design as the ones I removed. A couple of pictures of those which survived (the small ones, not the big ones on the side) are here to compare: drive.google.com/open?id=1ljCQUB-XeaZrsv4e0EawiY1bF459IT6w
My Insignia boot is leaking. I found water in the spare wheel compartment and traced it back to water coming out of a hole in the rear of the boot behind the passenger side tail light. However the water only leaks out of this hole when the car makes a right turn!
There's no leaks at all when it rains or the car is jet washed, but a lot of water pours out of this manufactured hole when the car turns right which we eventually confirmed by my mate sitting in the boot while I drove the car!
Any idea how and why I have this leak?
Hey mate, have you find out what this hole is for and how to fix it ? Do you have any pics ? I've started finding small amounts of water in mine too, but can't really find when it is coming in. Jet washing doesn't seem to get water inside, so it might be something similar.
does anyone elses windscreen mist up on the inside because of this issue? And at this time of year its a ball ache
Mines leaking to I think it coming in from the fin on roof
What's the purpose of these? Could you not just cover them over with something more permanent?
Good point, maybe access originally. But no idea.
@@adbarretttth hmmm. Having the same problem in the exact same car, mould is starting to show and after the rain we've had up here in Doncaster I need to find a solution to it. I'll get home Sunday and set about it, some cement might do the trick. Thank you for the video mate, really helped!
@@BarryShite25 no worries, I think this panel does give access to an electrical connector, but not after I bollocked mastic round it it didn't.
cheers
Which bolts did you order to replace the ones that broke? You were not wrong they are brittle
I didn't, just blobbed a bit of mastic. However, I think some people quote the OEM part number in this comments section
@@adbarretttth as I only broke two still 3 on as I didn't take the hole thing off I'll just leave it. Cheers should be solved now
thanks i have same problem
What did you use for taking out the plugs? Any special tool or…?
Brute force from what I remember
Had the same issue and hopefully its fixed now however 2 sides gromets snapped while I removed the plastic panel. Does anyone has any link or part number for that 2 large plastic pins???
Did you manage to find these can’t find them anywhere?
part number OEM 13336985
@@adbarretttth thank you !
Does the rubber trim just push back on? Thanks
I think so
Vauxhall have just tried charging me £420 to fix this. One question, how do you get the grommets out without snapping them?
Louis Hawke with great difficulty! I don’t have the car anymore, but I think you just have to be careful, maybe look them up on eBay to see what they look like, so you have an idea of how to attack it. I think mine snapped and I just mastiked them back in.
Cheers mate. Thanks for your help
@@Louhawke1994 part number OEM 13336985
I have an astra J with similar grommets.
My rear foot well is wet, back seats are wet and the spare wheel well has water in it!
Would poorly sealed grommet cause all these damp problems?! How the hell does water get to the boot, rear seats AND rear foot well!!
Please can you let me know of the out come. I have the same issue. Thank you.
@billalhossain3134 yeah it was the grommets. They have these exact same grommets on the astra j 2010 - 2014 I think. The wheel well fills with water, when you drive the water sloshes around an goes behind the back of seats behind the fabric and then travels to the foot well.
Bought bathroom silicone sealant, put it around these grommets and it has stopped the leak.
@@davidtrace4889 thanks for replying to him. i had the same question and will try this.
Hi, how you take the plastic screw outside, I try to my car and one its broke
Just forced it with a screwdriver from what I can remember, if they break there are links in these comments for the replacement parts
@@adbarretttth thank you so much.... And wat you use for the plastic cap to put back and don't have liking again?
@@dincaiulian8808 no worries. I used silicone mastic
Part number wrong for Estate you need these 13275952
