I had that..my weather stripping was worn and my spoiler had separated a bit from the hatch. Water was able to leak in and collected into the spare wheel well. My early fix was drill a drain hole. Although i would not advise anyone to do that because the gas tank is right under neath.... Just get some newer stripping

Thanks for the suggestion re: Taillights. Ill try that on mine. However I can see water marks under the LHS boot plastic (which looks like a pain to remove!)
Any body else? Also mine fills up the rear seat wells & the passenger (LHS being RHD car) footwell.
Thinking it was coming from the heater motor assembly, i removed that, then the wiper motor & sprayed water around, checked seals & they all look fine. I then welded up the rear hatch squirter & wiper holes, as the rear spoiler had gone. Another point, my LHS door closes very firmly compared to the RHS, almost as if its a bit tight?
Im so sick of the water problems, I just keep it covered & hope for the best..

I had water coming in through the holes in the hatch where the wing bolts on. Lift up the hatch and it comes out. What didn't come out ended up in the spare tire area. Some sealant or gasket material under the wing will keep it out.
