Thanks for the tip Steve, think this is where my daughter's car was letting water in as one of the seals was badly perished. I managed to change the vents without removing the bumper - just remove the interior trim at the back of the boot and then use a screwdriver through the holes behind this trim to pop the vent clips and the vent then drops down between the bumper. Feed the new vent up inside the bumper from beneath and pull into place from the boot side.
I had water where the spare is. Best thing to do to try and diagnose where the water is coming in from is to remove plastic trim where the boot lip is. Remove boot carpet and then put the rear seats down. Close the boot and then get in the back of the car via rear passenger door. Get a friend to hose the car down with water preferably on the car roof and let the water drip down over the back window. Hopefully while your in the back of the car facing the boot door you should then see where the water is coming in from. For me it was coming through the air vent via the locking bar to the boot lock.
Hi Steve, I have the exact same leak coming from where you showed in the video. Is it likely it’s the air vents even if the car has been stationary? Do the rear air vents need to be left/right parts, or can I just buy 2 of the same part?

Hi steve, did the changes work? Having the same issue but the seals and vents on my corsa are fine.
RTV around the vents rather than buy new?
Ahh, actually looks like the water only appears after I have driven it
