After rain or washing the car water would get inside the boot lid trim and run out from the light bulb access panel or from the trim by the rear window. This was caused by the boot release handle drain tube draining water inside the boot lid. The drain hose has a grommet at the end which had become broken so that the end of the tube was loose within the boot lid. A new tube was purchased for a few quid and cut to a slightly longer length than the original.
20 minutes work to fix.
Update April 2022. The grommet at the end of the tube split again! I purchased a new tube and found that the part has been updated to a much more flexible pipe with the grommet moulded onto the tube. Hopefully this one will last.
The part number is 510-827-861-A
