its the quickest fix, or you'll go insane trying to find it, usually leaking through around rear screen so better to just drill small hole as above

Took me ages to find a leak in my boot, in my case, water comes down LHS water channel on boot and then supposed to drain away over rear light cluster, but there is a gap, taped it uf for now but a bit of 'silcoset' or 'dow corning' will do the trick
