For the rear I think it is the clips that hold the long finisher leaking, the finisher tends to shift backwards over time, pulling it away at the rear as the end point travels along a bit of bodywork that slopes outwards, thereby pulling the clips slightly away from the body causing a leak. The rear wing finisher clips can also leak.

Wish I had a clue about the front.
