I thought my wifes boot lid was letting water somewhere, maybe at the spoiler or seals, turned out it was the rear wash pipe tube had come apart at the connection near the top edge of the screen. Worth a check to see if this is the problem.

Thanks

I know its not the window wiper because the boot lid only leaks after it's bean raining, but the rear lights always fill up with water too.

I've still not found exactly where it comes in. The solution I currently have is not to park facing downhill if at all possible! That way if runs out of the drainhole first, or doesn't get in, one of the two!
