there are a few common problems for water in the boot.

1st. (and most common and simple to fix) check the light cluster seals and tighten the nuts if needed.
2nd. the rear sunroof drains are not located properly in the stale air vents (or are blocked).
3rd. leaking bootlid seal
4th. holes in the bottom of the car.

Also failure of the foam gaskets on the spigots behind the 'Hoffmeister Kink' trim on the c pillars.
