boot leak
when it rains water collects at the rear tailgate latch and floods my wheel well.
when you lift the tailgate water pours from the top rubber.
i changed the seal but still the same.
my left side tailgate doesnt sit flush, could this be the problem?

Best thing to do strip all the carpets out of the boot area ,jump in with a torch and get some one to hose the out side of the car on a spray (not jet) you will then be able to see where your leak is coming from
