I've removed the seal and cleaned the flange mating surface on the seal and the body flange, reseating the seal on the body flange by gently tapping in into place so it is fully home on the flange, but just having done an inspection in the rain, water is still tracking under the seal and dripping into the spare wheel well.
Does anyone have tips on how to seal the rubber seal to the body flange to stop this capillary action?

I have never seen this happen? I do however know that the seams where the two rear quarter panels join the boot area can leak water in (took me over a year to find this out!) try captain Tolleys along theses and see if that helps.
