Hi
It may be worth checking the rear window seal. There is a howto here somewhere. You may need to give it the silicone treatment. I recently has a light replaced. The side vents also tend to leak. All are discussed on the forum.

Check he side trims are fitted correctly the fittings tend to become undone. Take a look in the boot and tighten up carefully a dab of silicone won't hurt on the fittings either
As an extra precaution swap over the light seals left with right.

Hi John. Clean and then dry glue and stapple them as i did swap them over, clean the body work round where the light fits and smear with vasline and refit job should be a good one.
