ford fiesta 2007 water leak in boot

[MattMK6]

after it has been raining, i have noticed water coming in through the boot lock of my car. this car came with a spoiler. however it is stuck on but we added sillicon around that.

also replaced the rear high breaklight and also siliconed that in

but im still seeing water come through the lock/ latch

any ideas?

Had the same issue after the spoiler was removed and refitted. Basically, it needs to come off, again.

Remove all the double sided tape, apply new onto the spoiler, make sure you haven't got any gaps between the pieces as this is where water will get in.
Then when i refitted mine, I put silicone inside the holes of the bootlid where the bolts go through. before refitting it. That was 10 years ago and hasn't leaked since.
