Anybody any ideas?
Have your rear lights been changed/replaced ... if so, most bodyshops do a shocking job and almost never replace/renew the grey foam sealing pads on the rear of the lights ... guess what .... the water then enters the car via the rear lights.

worth checking ... removal is via 2 hex nuts ... careful you dont drop them into the floor/boxsection ... PIA to retrieve.

Hope it helps.
