Default ahh, bloody boot leaks - where is it coming from?

my au3 sr falcon is leaking water into the boot.

i have searched and read the common complaints thread, and as a result of that i tried some 'drip check' to seal some bits.

i drip checked the rear wing mounts (4 bolts on the underside plus the top side between the boot and the wing) as well as the 4 nuts/bolts that hold the read garnish panel thing on (the thing with the number plate lights). i also put 2 small holes in the bottom of the spare wheel well to let some water out / air in.

all that was done a few weeks ago. but now that it has rained again the boot still leaks, grr. as a result the 4 towels in the boot are soaked, the baby's pram keeps getting wet (wife already spent hours getting mould off it a few weeks ago) and i'm getting sick of it.

the question at the end of this long winded post / rant is.....

where else could it be coming in? and what else should i try to seal?

cheers

ps, the car was parked on a slight incline nose down, but it's not much of a slope and it didn't rain *that* hard..
