Leaky boot.

Hi
It's sometime since I visited here, but that's not because I have sold the Rover of 19 years. She is still trucking on and has covered 137000 miles from new. (One owner me). I thought I had cured all the leaks on the notoriously leaky Rover75, but I am having extreme difficulty in sourcing the boot leak. There is no water in the tyre well and I know it's not the rear light cluster, the trim holes along the rear wings, or the rectangular vents. The water drips from above onto a large plastic tray that I have strategically positioned in the boot. Initially it was coming from the left hand side, but lately I've had drips from the right hand side.
From my description above I believe that there are only 2 other options and that's the back window seal, or the sunroof drains, but my money is on the back window seal , that is showing it's age. What are my options to repair this? Has anyone fixed a back window seal leak?
