  1. petrev's post in Water in the Spare Tyre Well ! was marked as the answer   
    Answer . . .
     
    So the answer is (in my case) - Gaps in the rear seam between inner and outer skins.
     
    Water was getting inside the U-channel of the boot seal and tracking down, and in through the seam gaps.
     
    Comes out into the Boot here, and the same spot on the other side.
    (I thought it was around the Air Vents so I put Sikaflex round them but it didn't help :( )
     

     
    Remove the Boot/Hatch seal and this is what you find ......
     
    Gets into the inner space through gaps in the seam here

     
    and also down the edge here (same both sides)

     
    I put Grey Sikaflex 221 along the entire length of the seam - all along the Boot/Hatch seal line.
     
    Top

     
    Bottom

     
    I was getting a few inches of pooling during big downpours - Fingers crossed no more ingress !
