Thought I would add to the list!
Getting a bit fed up with the amount of condensation. On a positive note, I can turn one drop of water into litres of condensation. So if I cannot cure it, I will use the vehicle as a drought prevention measure.
The cause appears to be the tailgate seal and the inner trim which is secured via those push in pins. Its a bit of a head scratcher as I cannot see how water is actually getting into the seal itself, as squishing the seal causes a fountain of water to spurt out in the corner. Perhaps it is just pooling up there and effecively overflowing into the seal via the ventalation hole. As this seal is opposite the trim, it then must pool up and seep between the seal and the plastic boot trim.
Like others I have struggled to understand the drain arrangement. I guess the only seal between the tailgate seal and the inner trim is provided by the tension of the clips. Having examined the clips themselves it doeslook like that perhaps they have been damaged. Should they have barbed ends? Otherwise I cannot see how they are able to secure the trim adequately.
It would seem that if those holes in the seal were on the other side of the seal, then the water would be able tickle away without problem!
