    Water leaks in rear boot????

    Anyone else have water leaks in the rear boot?
    I don't know where it is coming from, but it enters the boot from the vent on the right side, inside the boot. When it has rained, you can see it drip through the vent.
    Anyone else having the same issue?
    The dealer has already replaced the flexi hose that houses the elec wires, that goes from the boot lid to the body. This did not fix the problem.
    Any other clues what to look for?

    I recently noticed some drips of water on the inside of the rear glass. I dropped off at the dealer and they check it out. What they found was the rear glass panel had not been fully sealed. They removed and re-glued and have had not problems since.

    I went to the dealer today to see how the car was going.
    They found the fault. Where the centre part of the roof meets the side rails, there is a seam that is sealed with body sealer. Right at the end of the seam, where the tail gate meets the roof, there is a tiny hole in the sealer. You cant see it when the boot is shut, only when you have it half way up.
    Great that they found it. Now I wounder how it is going to be fixed. A panel beater is coming in to look at it apparently.
