fold down rear seats lay in the boot with a torch and get someone to turn the hose on if not raining, I had one years back that leaked through rear lights and bootlid did not depress enough to make a good seal on rubber

Back light seals, split or blocked sunroof drain tubes.

Get on the Orion register if you get stuck.

I would go for screen too had one years ago which had a replacement screen which leaked and rotted all the inner arch by fuel cap.
