 Just opened my boot and water poured out as it got vertical!The cable grommets are both VERY well sealed.  At the bottom edge the central rectangular grommet is open, the round ones at each corner are in place. I popped them out and both were wet behind. So water is getting in somehow and accumulating at the rear lower edge, limited as I have the central grommet missing. Look as hard and logically as I can I can't think realistically how. One possibility is that rain is somehow coming in under the front edge between the rubber seal and the lid, then working up inside the lid. But I would then expect to see water in the boot, and there's none. The only other area is around the lights and numberplate, but again it all looks well-sealed and could only be rain trickling in while parked.
