Water in Boot lid
After a rain I find water in the boot lid. No water in the boot until the lid is open and water runs down the hindges. I have removed the liner and found water behind the third brake light. any ideas?

I had the same problem, the seal around the platic had shurnk.
I first tried to be cheap and took the light cover out and put come sealant around the edges. Did not work the sealant.....leaked.
So I just went on ahead and ripped out the old cover, bought a new one from MB (about 20 Euro) and snapped it in place. I just used a plastic spatula to rip out the old, one, needle nose pliers to get any plastic bits there were left behind.
Now, depite the torrential down pours that are common to this country...no more leaks.
