    Wet back seat

    Hi, my wife's DS3 has a wet beak seat/rear seat. It is wet at the next of the middle at the right. Its a left hand drive car.
    Is this a frequent problem?
    Someone maybe where to look?

    maybe the middle brakelight?

          Hi Guys, thnks! I tought that 1 black nut was not for the taillight.... WRONG, it was!
          I'm sure to found the leak! It is coming in through the air extractors behind the bumper corners, in my case only the right side.
          So maybe try to remove the bumper or else I try to put some EPDM foil with special sealant over these extractor like an upside down U shape.

          Thanks for the link to bigfeets!

            I can not edit my post, but in the PDF of bigfeet for removing the rear bumper says it: Removing: The rear wing extensions assembly (According to equipment)

            What is that?

              Hi All, question
              I have the pdf with instructions to remove rear bumper. But the bolts to remove at the upper corners you can see whwn the taillights and the mud shields are removed, are impossible the reach at a normal way.
              Somebody a idea how to? I have a small wrech witch is about 25 to 30 mm its still to big!!! When it is in place you can not make a turn.....

                Problem solved. I glue a piece of EPDM (rubber) over the right air extractor, and did not removed the bumper.
                Only drying the carpets, but that is a difficult job... because the top of the carpet is a sort of rubber and the water/moisture can not damp out.
                I put a wetter and towels under it. So it will that a couple a weeks...
