Done a search at all on here?

It's massively common, the five most likely areas for a leak being:

1. Rear lights,
2. Spoiler mounting holes,
3. Boot rubber seal,
4. Rear windscreen seal,
5. Little ventilation flaps deep in the wings stuck open.

And to cure each:
1. Remove lights, remove all old sealant, replace with this: http://www.caravan-components.co.uk/...atingVisible=1 DO NOT USE SILICONE, TIGER SEAL, SIKA-FLEX ETC!!!
2. Remove spoiler and as above.
3. Remove boot seal, clean and inspect for damage, replace if damaged, smear some of the above under it and refit.
4. Have the rear screen professionally inspected, and removed and re-sealed if necessary.
5. Clean out any debris, ensure they close.

Ive found this on my bugeye and my widetrack blob. One quick term solution was to drill a tiny hole to let the water drain out, then repair the leak. I also found water in right hand side corner of the boot, bout a foot deep, so again tiny hole to drain then repair! This is really common with these cars.
