Hi Mertens34

First replace the light seals, then see my post:-

extract from my post -

So I sealed the underside of the 8 bottom screen clips from inside the boot (2 are not very easy to get to grrr ) Still water in the boot.

So I sealed around the air extractor vents on both sides, Still water in the boot

So I sealed the boot hinges and looked for any small panel gaps and sealed them, still water in the boot!!!!

So today in a fit of rage, pulled all the boot carpet and trim out and started to mop out the water from today’s rain, only to spot a small trail of water I had not seen before, and managed to trace it to the first push in clip of the side body trim, Out came the silicone and did the 2 push clips, removed the other 2 nuts and plastic washer dab of silicone behind the washer and back on with the nuts, did both sides, So fingers crossed this is going to fix it.

So infact there are lots of places water can come in, it all depends if you have a wet carpet from underneath or the water is dripping from higher up onto the top of the carpet.

But as its both sides could be lights or side trim clips.
