No seals to speak of in there but there is a metal panel join (near the top of the cluster) that has been sealed up before which is now deteriorating.
Is this the likely ingress point or am i off target?
Thanks in advance

Most probably the rear light seals, but water might also be coming in from a number of other areas, rear window, or possibly the rear side trim clips, do a search on the forum and you will see what other members have done to stop water ingress.

You can also get some new rear light seals from

Would definitely be looking at fitting seals first

Hope that helps
