I get the same problem in my Rsi, think theres a slight hole due to rust, but not sure if that would be the same for you.

Have you recently bought the car? You did check to make sure there were no creases in the boot that indicated a crash didnt you?

The only place i could imagine water coming through would be the rear-windscreen

Am New To This Where Do U Reply,is It Here

 

[paul1.8 16v]

yes i checked the lot it must be the window or the seal.

I had this in my old RT, turned out to be one of the seals on the boot lid, or round the rear light?

I know someone who had a mk1 that got wet in the back, as Sami suggested in her case it was coming from the rear light.

not a dodgy rear screen washer ? does that work ok ?

Where is it wet? Take out the rear lights (one knob on the back on the lights ot undo) to check the seals are ok on there. Could also be leaking inside the boot lid underneath dripping down the plastic boot-end. This area is prone to rot and could easily be where it's leaking in from.
