It would be helpful to know what model Rover you have.

Here is the top 4 spots to look:
1.On many European cars, the breather vent/ charcoal purge valve for the air suspension system attaches to a hole in the spare tire well. In an effort to pull in warm dry air. Look at the perimeter of the inside well and see.
2. Sunroof drains have a hose that run along c pillar by the brake light housings. With an extra hand- have someone in the hatch area with the hose running outside. You will see it dripping.
3. All seals around brake lense housing.
4. Rear door seal has a metal drain hole under seal. Clear out pine needles and grime If needed.
post up pics of these don’t solve your problem. Never seen a leak that wasn’t covered by 1-4.

Default Water still getting in

so I checked drains etc and then my Indy Garage had it for a day and drenched it and could not find where this water is coming from, it rained hard again today and there is the water again so apart from the Roof rack fixings where else are the favorite leak points I can try and seal?

Default Still Leaking

So after checking all suggestions, I had the Head liner taken out and a specialist leak guy come in and he said it’s the rear Tailgate to body seal that is leaking, so replaced all the tail gate seals. Well my wife drive the Range Rover during the aftermath of the last hurricane with torrential rain and hues what no leaks🤗 then Friday she used it in a constant rain but not heavy and IT LEAKED! Spare wheel well wet again. Leak definitely from above, don’t know where to go next?

mirrajumper, when you say Brake Lense housing are you talking 3rd high brake light?
