If MG/Rover made submarines eh

I dont really see how it gets in to the seal. I have given it a squeeze around that hole, there doesnt seem to be any water inside it. The boot lid is wet all around the edges, which looks like condensation, but just this one damp spot on the carpet. Curious why it just wants to escape through the seal in that one place. I wonder if the wiring tube has an effect as i cant see how that is sitting when the boot is closed, maybe its pressing against the seal somewhere near
