  1. My model of MX-5 is: 2004 NB2
  2. I’m based near: Hereford

I noticed a while ago now that i had the usual condensation and damp in the boot of my 2.5. Managed to finally get a look at it and found the rear LH pocket full of 3” of water :rofl: so obviously a leak.

Looking at the LHR light it appears to be leaking in through there somewhere. So, does anyone have a layout of where the rear seals are? It seems like the 2.5 uses some small round seals around the securing points, rather than a full scale gasket, or can i replace these with the NA light unit seals?

Check the seal of the aerial. If its an electric one I think there is a drain tube on the bottom of it. Also there is a drain tube from the fuel filler cavity which may have dropped off or is not fed through the body panel.

Those are both good and still attached. I pulled the aerial tube out of the pocket to let the water drain for now.
