Perhaps a seal has split, or perhaps the holes where your spoiler is attached are letting water

check the rear light seal's...if they havent been resealed before they are likely to start leaking.

Perhaps a search on here would yield better results, there are LOADS of threads.

TBH, I COULD type it all out again, but do a search first, OK? Get back if you GENUINELY can't find owt, and are not just being lazy

Mine was my lights.

Tip: Do not use silicone sealent. Use a non-setting roof and gutter type mastic.

Yep, second that. Get hold of some Carafax grey, it's used on caravans and can be had from caravan dealers and some halfords.
