Has it got a sun roof,
There's pipes running down the two c post behind the rear lights
They could be blocked are even come off between the sun roof and
Boot floor?

has it got a wiper on the rear? i'd be checking the pipe for that if youve got one, mine used to leak even if i didnt press the water wipe button,

Both the above answers plus the pipe for sunroof can come out of the boot floor also so filling the boot from the bottom

7ova: no sunroof mate or rear wash wipe but cars just had two new arches, sills etc but don't think that should affect it but all seals have been off........

Plug: as above dude no rear wash wipe :(

Did the new arches get seam sealer to finish the joint and keep the water out ?

Has the hole on the left C pillar for the wiring harness been blanked off if you have no rear wiper etc.
Strip the trims out an get inside the car whilst somebody hoses down the outside of the car and check for leaks.

Window rubbers? I had one that leaked above the passenger front seatbelt behind the 1/4 trim.. It was always damp.

Theres a harness that runs through the c pillar that feeds the heated rear window but that's sealed, I have notice drips on the pass side parcel shelf holder and after looking looks like the boot seal at the top isn't sealing as it was wet on the near side corner.

Craig, I've had the rear quarter window out and the back light and revealed them so there ruled out as I said above I'm thinking boot seal as it was wet under the join on the pass top corner after washing it.
