I've got a 1994 106 XND Graduate (with a sunroof) that collects water in the
boot and under the rear seats. I think this might be a common fault with
water coming in through the rear lights. Am I right? If so, are seals
available? Thanks in advance.

It is common but you need to confirm its definately coming from the lights .
water test it with a hose pipe and see exactly where the water is coming in..
to be 100%... regards mark

If the water comes from the lights (I'll try the hose pipe tomorrow) is the
easiest thing to to get hold of some rear lights from a post '96 model?

You could try taking off the rear lights drying them then putting some
sealant around the seal.But if the seal/s are damaged or perished you'll need
new ones ..regards mark
