Default water leak in boot

ive never driven my car in the rain really until recently and its got a major water leak in the boot.
it seems to be the actual boot rubber that is not sealing on the chassis properly because the boot has a nice tight seal on the rubber.
i took it off the other day and dried it out and cleaned it and put mastic all around it but its still leaking although not quite as bad.
is this a common problem?
whats the solution coz it will wreck my car at this rate
