Found a puddle in the spare wheel well - mopped it out but back again this morning after a downpour (it had not moved) All the surrounding trim is bone dry and the hatch seals all look perfect - water is just where the well cants down. Any thoughts how it's getting in? Is there a drain in the rear that could be blocked?
 
It's the rear air pressure vents, behind the bumper, or to be precise - their rubbish quality seals.
Easy enough to fix - done mine a few months ago - bumper off, remove the old deteriorated seals, clean the vents, seal with Tiger Seal or similar.

I was too knackered to take pics, these were lifted from another forum about 5 years ago:
