Damp boot sides
Had a damp smell in the car a few weeks ago. So I've taken all the lining on the boot out and found there is condensation all over the sides and boot lid. There awas also a small pool in the passenger side under the jack. The spare wheel well is bone dry. I dried it all off and it comes back! I don't get it because bothe wings are damp! They are damp even if the lining is in the boot too!
I've dried it out a few times now but it just comes back! Could it be getting in under the rear window? If so how do I get to it to seal it?
Any ideas?

i have the same problem 1st i thort it was the rear lights they should have a black silicone like substance as standard and then i found that the spoiler holes in the boot where leaking rain and water into the boot same as yours under the jack, i have sealed the holes where the spoiler attaches will let you kno if this cures the problem (only did it today)

spoiler holes leaking are quite a common fault. I'd start there making 100% sure they are sealed. Then [B]fully[B] dry out all water. Then, using a trusty garden hose (and a mate with a torch in the boot) soak the boot from all angles to see if the pesky wet penetrates again.
The vents were what leaked on mine.
If you spray water on the side of the bumper and its leaking you will see it pouring through. I just put gutter sealant around the top of the vent. Worked for me.
