Default Leaking boot?? Anyone??

My MY03 boot has just started to leak (I think) as the carpet lining is damp....has anyone experienced this?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have the standard boot spoiler or an aftermarket or STi one fitted?

Iv heard of water getting in to the boot via the boot spoiler

no, it's a recent occurance but have noticed a little more vibrating noise than usual when going over any bumpy stretch of road. I'll take a look at it this weekend!
