Help !! Leak in N15 Rear Hatch !!

The boot of my N15 SRi - is consistantly filling up with water when it rains -

- its entering through the left hand side somewhere and trickling down to the spare tyre well
(had to take the bung out to drain and leave my boot carpets out !)

Is this a common issue with Almera N15's ? - and if so where would it be entering ?

-ive even run a hose pipe over the outside hatch to see if i can see where its coming in -but alas no luck !!)

I need to sort this sooner rather than later as im installing brand new sound equipment which- well with the leak at the moment is not an ideal combination :P
 
I've never heard of this before on an Almera, have you checked that the seal is ok all the way around?
 
also check the seal around the lights might have been rear ended at some point had a volvo with the same problem and it was leaking through the rear cluster
 
check for any rust holes as i had a hole in my inner arch which is why the floor of my car would get totally soaked when driving in the rain
 
I'd also try taking your boot rubber off (The one that seals the bootlid to the car) and chech the metal flange for rust underneith it may have rusted through as water tends to sit in it. Also chech where your bumper bolts to the car.
 
dry your boot out properly, then use some talc around the sides, the next time it rains you can then open your boot and see clearly where its coming from
