Finally solved ...????
Unfortunately, the fixes detailed earlier have proved ineffective and after heavy rain, water continued to enter the rear panel and load area ..
.....it defeated my indy dealer, although he found a water run from the rear windscreen .. so it was off to the recommended windscreen guys who proved fast, competent and thorough......
....leak eventually traced to a factory "fitted" aperture about 15 mm in diameter under tailgate light cluster, simply factory covered with a 25 mm square sticky foam pad ( one under each cluster L and R ) !!! ..... these had rotted.. come away from body shell allowing water to enter.... can't believe it.... photos available.
The windscreen guys told tales of customers coming to them after lack of success from main dealers of all types of new cars, they wanted only to fit new tailgate assembly running into thousands ... the job cost ...??? ...less than £50.00 !!!
