Washer fluid in the cargo area

[OldManTan]

I tried searching, but I either suck or nobody else has had this problem. If I try and wash the rear window on my 2002 B6, all of the fluid just pours out of the rear roof area into the cargo compartment. I have the rear trim removed to install a satellite antenna and I still can't see where or why it's coming out of this area. Obviously the washer fluid hose crosses to the rear hatch near the hinge, I just can't see where it is. I guess I have much more trim to remove to get at the leaking hose.

I'm going to check my Bentley and see what it contains. Usually it is very lacking in interior trim info.

I had a similar problem, but it wasnt washer fluid.

THe seal around the trunk was defect, so they replaced it at the dealer and problem was solved.

I was getting water around the spare tire, smelled horrible.....

Hope it helps

I know it's washer fluid. I watched it squirt out one morning while I was holding the washer stalk. It was a nice toilet bowl cleaner blue!

Wow. I knew Bentley would be terse, but this is over the top. On the subject of removing the rear hatch, this is the number 2 item -

Disconnect or remove electrical harness connectors and hose for rear window washer system.

No more info. I guess it's time to go digging into the ETKA.
