Rust under Spare Wheel

Have a look at the rear light gaskets, I had water coming through these and running into the spare wheel well

Can these be fixed without replacing by cleaning them

Cheers

They are foam rubber which splits. I got new ones from Amayama in Japan (They are about £30 each in the UK)

I bought a set from ebay - not fitted them but they look ok. cost was about £24 for the pair.

I have ordered a pair today.
How long did they take to arrive?
Checked boot today and found water under Spare Wheel again

I dried the area and painted over with hammerite black paint.
I had treated with rust converter first.
Looks great just need to keep it dry until the gaskets arrive

Cheers
