Leaking boot

Have a leak in my boot the top part of the floor is damp. But the bottom and underneath were the battery and wires are is dry and has no evidence over ever being wet.

Plus on the right hand side the vent type slats under the window have evidence of water coming in

Anyone have any ideas of the entrance point.

Seen posts for water ingress in the battery and lower compartment. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here

This might not be it, but I noticed on my car that one of the pieces of trim (circled below, not my car) in the boot wasn't stuck down very well. It would certainly allow water in. I ordered some 3M tape from Amazon and repaired it.

It might not be the problem, but worth checking.

It's a very common problem unfortunately.
Mine had the same leak only it went unnoticed for a long time and filled the boot up with water.

The thread about it and the source of the leak can be found here:

I think the picture of the culprit is on the 2nd page.


Another thread also here.
