    Did you check round the rear tail light? That is sealed when fitted so it could be where water is getting in.

      The lights havent been taken out i heard about them being sealed BUT when i took the top plastic trim off due to it being broke and was putting another on i did notice it had been siliconed down took me ages to get the old one off could this be the reason?

        Do you mean the trim that goes on top of the boot seal? Do you have any pictures of the boot seal area?

            That piece is tightened from behind the tail lights and with 4 hidden screws on the top behind 4 small plastic trims.

            That would be the one on this picture just on top of the tail lights, the one with grooves in it.

                The water leaks past those fixing screws where they go through the metal bodywork so you need to seal them with sealant. 2 of the screw holes are above the tail lights so water drips into the tail lights making you think the tail light seal has leaked when it hasn't.
