Freelander 1 water in boot in jack storage area.

Is it as simple as taking off the seal, a bead of silicone inside the full length, and reffitting?
If so, is there a particular silicone I should use?

Thanks again.

Sometimes simply removing and refitting the boot seal can cure the leak. I use silicone grease on the seal surface. This repels water and helps the seal slip against the door, improving seal pressure.

Ah, silicone grease not silicone. Got it now. Thanks again gents.

Tried to prevent this problem on a F1 I once owned, gave up in the end and drilled a hole to let it leak out.

The fuel tank is between the axles as mandated by regulation, of which the Reg number escapes me. The boot locker is simply a lowered section of the boor floor. It's nowhere near the fuel tank.
