no,just make sure it's cleaned out and if you remove it you will need to heat it up a bit to get it back on but before doing so ensure the drain hole in the bulkhead is free from debris .

if theres rain coming into the boot, its most likely either, your boot seal, rear light seals, or the boot may need ajusting on the hinges, another area to check is the aerial as it can leak around the rubber grommet.

finally if you have a sunroof, check the sunroof drains are clear as these are located in the rear boot wells.

finally found a lot of leak at fire wall and the bottom of battery, and near the steering bar, can it be fix by welding?

difficult? or easy repair?

Pictures would be good, sounds like a tricky area to repair neatly if its really rotton, is there any holes/ rust around the bottom corner of the windscreen as well?
