vectra water leaking into boot - Alvin Booth

Took the spare wheel out of my 1998 vectra hatchback today and found the carpet wet through at the left hand rear near the light cluster.
removed the trim and got the wife to spray water over the quarter light area and also down the hatch sealing rubber whilst I cowered inside to see where it was coming through.
It was weeping through a body seam about a foot back from the lights but was unable to be sure if it was the quarter light or not. However putting the air compressor line from inside it blows through the corner of the quarter light seal. Has anyone else had their Vectra leaking rainwater into the boot.
