Leak from anntena into rear and driver footwell

Hi, sorry - new user and not sure if this is the right place to post.
I have a 2016 XC60 D4 which I love. Mechanically perfect but I have serious water ingress issues.
There has been leaking into the rear compartment for some time from the underneath the back plastic. I’ve had the cargo seal replaced and then a smoke test and confirmed it’s from the antenna. Two garages didn’t want to know.

Last week there was two inches of water in the driver footwell. Absolutely no tracking marks, appeared to come from nowhere. This is particularly an issue when
Parked facing down hill. Bonding of windscreen seems to be fine and Volvo confirms no issues with this year so no good will.

Has been seen by Volvo specialist and he doesn’t want to touch it. Says take to dealer but suspects water on footwell is also caused by antenna seal.

I’m booked into Volvo who want £600 to do lean test and confirm - then the repair on top (they can’t estimate). There’s noise of a recall for this issue on the new xc40 in America but Volvo say no issue on my vehicle.

Anyone had this? Have I got a lemon? I’m not sure I’ve got thousands to fix the issue.

Tried sealant on the antenna as a temp fox with no joy .
