Check the seals on the light clusters - mine used to fill up untill I sorted them. Interestingly Subaru apparently can't sell you a replacement (at least according to my local dealer), so it'll have to be a tube of gutter sealant or similar!

Hope that helps...

Cheers thanks for the response,
What worries me is the water is also dripping from speakers in boot
and boot lid would this do this.

yep! pull back the trims in the boot and u will find 5 or 6 ,8mm nuts each side holdin them in. remove the lights make sure they are completely dry before sealin them other wise its pointless as the sealer doesnt dry. seal up and fit them strait to the car and tighten the nuts. should take a day to dry fully. then remove the carpet and dry on a rad!
