Washed my car this weekend and there seems to be damp/moisture in the boot now too. The boot carpet seems damp. I'm wondering if my moisture is something like the boot seal leaking and the water going into the boot carpet and then evaporating through the parcel shelf into the cabin? Or do we still think it's more likely that it's coming through the window seal and down into the boot? Any way to check if the boot seal is leaking?

It could be. I have had the inner right light changed ages ago and there has been a couple of dents pulled out of the boot lid in that area too. I'm wondering if whatever made the dents twisted the boot lid slightly or that one of the lights are leaking. They have condensation in too. More investigation needed me thinks. Talc and a hose I guess....

OK, I had little to no condensation on Tuesday as it was dry. It rained heavily yesterday and today I had condensation on front and rear screen, but more so on the rear screen. I opened the boot to check for damp again (which it was) and found water running down the side panels and along the seal. Do you think this could be either a knackered seal or a misaligned boot lid. A new boot seal maybe worthwhile do you think? Or is this a symptom of another problem?

hmmm, I checked my boot and its bone dry, but although not as large, my condensation is similar to yours.
I opted against replacing the glass last week as I spoke to the Corby guys when they came out and they said it was laminated, so would most likely crack, checked with TPS and the part takes two days, also, the glass isn't patent parted like some other screens so they didn't have any in stock they could keep in an if-in case scenario. With the weather the way it is and the travel I do, I couldn't justify the risk of trying to get the screen out. So, my next step is to attempt to strip the interior out of the boot and rear seats/headlining, then see if I can trace a leak on a rainy day - hoping to fix it from the inside out. Only thing is, my spare days are running out because of work (self-employed) so if anyone gets there before me, let me know what you find. Lee, is the top part of the boot hatch wet? also, check the headline above the rear drivers door, is it damp? one of the corby guys said they found a pinhole on a car once, under the water guides/roof rack areas, and over time it had widened and was the cause of a lot of problems on an A8
