Leaking Tourer rear fixed windows ?

Ok I know there are plenty of threads on our leaking cars and a lot of the fixes are straightforward, however I am currently looking at a tourer with the innards stripped out of the back and water is getting in both sides and gathers around the bottom seal of the rear fixed window.

What is strange is that no matter how much water I spray on the outside of those windows there is no leak but as soon as the hose is turned towards the top of the closed tailgate around where the hinge is located water is somehow getting in and gathers on the inside of the fixed rear windows before dripping onto the floor

I know there is some original MG Rover sealant in the weld in the area at the top when the tailgate is open and it looks cracked over time so I have put some sealant in there but it still leaks

Presumably a few of you have been here before and will be able to tell me how you cured it ?
