get some clear silicon sealant from any Halfords, etc - use generously covering all the bolt thread, head, etc
i did mine and it was fine afterwards

also check the seal around the boot as this can also cause a leak if it isn't sat properly

There's a handy rubber bung under the spare wheel to empty the water out if you need to, just lie under the back of the car and you'll see it.
