Default Mondeo water leak in boot!

Really getting annoyed now, My 02 Mondeo mk3 hatchback has water leaking in to the boot, it appears to be running down the inside of the nsr quarter panel, over the lamp and soaking my boot carpet!

Iv had the trims out a number of times trying to find the pesky leak, thought it may have been the grommet for the tailgate wiring but still leaking!

Any suggestions?

It there a drain hole in the tailgate appeture that's bunged up? Either that or run a bead of silicone around the rear light cluster.

Carefully check the seam where the wing meets the shell, as the sealent can crack and let water in, yet look perfectly normal.

The grommet between top of car and bootlid was where water leaked through on my old mk3. You sure its properly sealed up? You can pull the headlining down in the middle and clearly see if it is still leaking from there.
