Water leak into boot area (pics)
As above really, I have had the rs resprayed and removed doors and the boot lid, when to ford to get the new tubing to go around the wires that go from the car to the boot lid. But you have to buy the hole loom so he says, but you can still get the washer pipe tubing so i got 4 of them. work fine on the washer pipe as it should do but not around the other wires as you can see.
I know its because the hole is to big for the new rubber tubing to go into it and that is why it keeps pulling out. so i tryed putting a rubber gromit in the hole and then sealing it still comes out. Its not because the wires are to sort cause there not Any more ideas or any pics of what you guys have done would good. Thanks Steve....

Mate ,I'd guess the water is leaking around the rear lights myself,and what your on about isnt the problem in my opinion.Failing that,check the door rubbers or hatch rubbers.Regards,Micky.

No mate it is coming in from the top cause you can see the water dripping down from behind the C piller. But i do know what you are saying but it's not coming from the lights thanks anyway...

Harsh but true!The rubbers on my tailgate kept coming out. I used some high strength epoxy and left it to set overnight. Never come out or leaked any water since.
If that doesnt work you could try some Flexible convoluted tubing from here...

Dont get the stuff with a slit down and I would proably go for a slightly larger size than the hole itself so it would hold itself in. A smearing of clear silicone would seal it up. I dont think there is enoiugh room to get the tubing end fittings in there.

i would give the rear of the sunroof tray a try, water wont get thru those holes easy
if the pipes to the rear of the sunroof tray have rotted out then any water getting in there would come out of the back area
