Leak from the side of the boot

Hi im leanne, how do I stop these plastic panels leaking water into my boot? It does this on both side. 

Thank you x

They're there to allow air to flow so when you slam the tailgate the sudden rise in air pressure doesn't blow then windows out.

 

In reality thats a bit OTT.  You can try and get it sorted under warranty, but the dealer can't do much about poor design.  Alternatively you can remove them and use Sikaflex to bond a plastic or alloy plate over them, ideally from the outside.
