I've got an 52 plate disco 11 TD5
The back door leaks & I don't want to have to replace the boot floor.
Does anyone know how to fix this.
Tried the search feature & nothing seems to match my problem.
It's a bitch trying to back-out of Tesco's when it's steamed up.

There is an outer cuff seal at the top of the door and an inner water seal all round.

Mostly, the door doesn't sit on the inner seal and the water gets in on the passenger side top corner area.

Adjust the striker to take the door in a bit and see how that goes.

Mine did this too, adjusted the hinge so the door shut tighter and its never happened since! bit of a hefty clunk when the door opens now though, but its better than wet shopping etc.!
