That looks like the position where water drips off the boot lid when it is opened in the rain and soaks everything in the boot. There are also a couple of rubber grommets under the sound proofing where the cables pass through for the number plate lights. There is nowhere else in the boot in that area that water can come in. do you open the boot a lot and let the rain drip in off the edges!!?

You'd get condensation if all your seals are sealing extremely well.. but probably not that much.
You might get a bit of a seal leak if your boot seal is worn out...

Hi

Check the water channel around the boot opening for a crack in the metal particularily where the panels are joined together.

About 2 years ago I had a problem with water getting into the boot after heavy rain or washing the car and it turned out to be a crack in the metal plate joint (left hand side of the boot at the rear window)- easily resolved by application of a sealant to the joint.   I don't know why it happened but it hasn't been a problem since.

try putting your back seats down and running the aircon to dry it out during your run

Scorpio_man : Sorry dont have sunroof...  :(

Highlander : thought about that... hehe... When i opened the boot tonight it smelled moulded...  :o It cant have been like this for SO long...... But its getting dryed out under the tripp, and going to put the Defa heater inn and "coock" the coupe, it gets to about 50degrees when its about 10degrees outside...  ;D

2tired : hm, that sounds like a manufacturing error.? havent checked it yet...

(but im driving in 9hours, and probably wount get online for 10-14days...  :(
