Default leak

The leak in my boot was traced to a chrome side trim clip coming lose and letting water in , might be worth a look?

I have a leak in the boot from a badly fitted panel repair, still trying to stop it leaking now! Are there any signs of an old repair? I bought some seam sealer recently will give that a go soon. Just a thought.
