Try looking at the light cluster - it may just need a bead of sealant around it and tighten the nuts (not too much though!)

Have a look also at the point where the metal of the rear quarter panel forms a joint at the top left and right of the boot opening. I found it to be leaking at the top left joint on my saloon model. A simple bit of filler material solved the problem with no recurrence in the last 2 years
