Evening all. I keep getting a leak of water into the drivers side boot stowage in my touring when it rains.It doesn't leave any elsewhere. I've checked the boot seal but that seems ok. Does anyone know of any other place it might be coming from?

From the seal around the light cluster, from a rust hole in the RH inner or outer rear arch, or the fixings from the 'shark fin' shaped trim piece behind the rear side window.
