Toyota AYGO, Citroen C1 & Peugeot 107 Additional Boot Seal Fitting Guide

Symptoms of fault

Water leaking in to the boot and footwells. Wet carpets and mats. Rattling / whistling noises, excess wind and road noise. Rattling sounds from doors and tinny sound when closing doors.

The fault

It is a very common fault for leaks to occur on these vehicles, with water entering and pooling in the boot and footwells. The door seals on these vehicles are poorly designed from the outset and get worse with age. These seals both on the tailgate and doors sit deep within the mating surfaces of the doors and body of the vehicle. This means a large volume of water can pool above the seals. This overwhelms the seals, entering the back of the seals and causes these leaks. As the OEM seals sits so far from the outer edge of the doors this means the outer edges of the doors close directly on the metal of the vehicles body creating a tinny metallic sound when closing the doors.

The solution

Our seals sit closer to the edge of the mating surfaces of the doors, preventing the main door seals from being overwhelmed and leaking. Unique in design our seals fasten to the outer edge of the vehicles body where the doors close. Our seals are extremely easy to fit, just peel off the 3M sticky tape on the reverse and fit in the positions shown in our video and pictorial instructions.

The seals close up the gap between the body and the door stopping water pooling on the main door seal, preventing leaks. Also included is a replacement boot seal, this is a direct replacement for the OEM part, this slots in to place as per the original, our seal is improved with a larger diameter to prevent leaks in to the boot. Alongside this we also supply an additional top seal which works in the same way as our door seals, providing an external seal, preventing pooling of water within the tailgate.

Our seals are a direct fit and can be fitted in under 20 minutes. Our seals are cut to size ready to fit, we also include 2x alcohol wipes to clean the vehicles body prior to fitting our seals.

You will receive

X1 Additional external seal

X 1 Alcohol wipe

Step 1: Clean Boot Shut Area

The area around the original tailgate seal may have a build up of dirt and grime. Clean this area with the alcohol wipe provided.

Step 2: Apply Additional Tailgate Seal

Apply the additional tailgate seal by starting in the center (below the third brake light) and working your way outwards towards each tail light. Remove the 3M backing to expose the sticky back to the seal. Press firmly and apply all around the edges of the boot shut until it is as pictured. The seal should come down to the bottom of the tail lights. If there is any excess, cut this off with scissors or a Stanley knife.

Step 3: Close Tailgate Firmly

Close the tailgate firmly a few times, this ensures that the seal is fitted in the correct position. Since the seal is brand new it may not close on the first occasion, but once the seal starts to bed in it will close & get easier over time.
