They are nearly all swines for this.
If you have sealed the rear lights the other places water gets in are,
Boot spoiler holes,
Rear window,
Boot seal,
Vents down both sides inside boot can be stuck open.
You will need to remove all the wet stuff and get it dried outside the car, if you leave it in there it's never going to dry, especially in winter

Probably spoiler holes. remove spoiler, reseal with this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_tr...at=0&_from=R40

DO NOT use silicone, Tiger Seal etc.

Out of interest, how have you resealed the lights? To do it properly, they have to come out, have all the OLD sealant removed and be reseated in the above.

It's (hopefully) what you will use to reseal the spoiler, what you used to reseal the lights, what you can use to resat the boot seal.........

The stuff above?
