Other points of water entry to the boot I heard of are...
1. The trim clips along the waist.
2. The air vents hidden by the sides of the rear bumper.
3. The clips along the base of the rear screen.
4. The boot hinge bolts.
The usual fix for each of those is to add some suitable sealant.

It's also worth checking the seams along the boot edge and rear wings. I had a drip on mine which used to run down the loom for the rear lights (just above the sat nav) and it was cracked in a few places so I resealed it and touch wood seems to have cured this.
