I have condensation on the boot lid of my e30 316.
It has no trim on the boot lid (are they all like this)

I had water in o/s well but have manged to fix this by replacing both the boot seal and light seals,However the bot lid still gets wet inside

I was thinking maybe putting some dynamat on it this may help it from the water sitting on it

Any ideas?

Ive had 3 E30's and they have all done this. Might be worth going at all the trim, carpets ect in the boot area with a hair dryer to make sure they are dry.

There is a full boot lid liner on (some?) SE models.
If there's condensation on the inside of the boot lid, then there is water in the boot.
