Ford Fiesta Mk7 Damp Problems

Hi,

Seems to be a common problem but I have water coming in the boot of my MK7 58 plate Fiesta (lying in the spare wheel arch) and also a very very damp rear passenger carpet.

The car has been into a Ford garage twice to get repaired but low and behold my car is still taking water in, the garage employees seem pretty useless at pinpointing the problem.

I have found some older posts on this but they don't seem to come to any final answer with a common fault.

Can anyone shed any light on this and possible next actions?

Thanks in advance.

Alistair
