Ford Falcon 2001: Water in boot

...

The boot lid on my 2001 Ford Falcon sedan takes in water when it rains, then when one opens the boot the water pours in. How is it only getting into the lid and how does one fix this?

If it's not getting into the boot directly it would seem to confirm that the boot seal is doing its job. In that case look for openings in the boot lid itself, outside the rubber seal that are exposed to the elements. They should be sealed, so perhaps the sealing is damaged.
