My '99 Ironman is leaking, just like yours. And my dealer blamed the leak on wires through the boot, just like yours. But god help them if they sift flour all over my interior. Sounds like a biscuit recipe to me wet + powder=dough. There has to be a better way to find a leak! Anyhow my dealer gooped silicone all over the boot and said it was fixed... taadaa. But I still have a damp drivers floorboard. I was sent a pic showing the approximate location of a weld under the left front fender that has leaked on other VX'es. My bumper to bumper just expired so I guess i'll have to fix the problem myself, So if you get yours fixed PLEASE post the remedy.thanks
