Is the parcel shelf wet?

If not, i'd check the seal around the rear window by placing some dry toweling inside and then getting the hose out and holding it on the rear window.

If its not that, i'd imagine its getting in through underneath the car, perhaps from the wheel arches.

May need to remove the parcel shelf and sit in the boot whilst someone play a hose on the back of the car.
