I had exactly the same problem and after spending a lot of time looking at the vents behind the bumper, checking that water was not getting in via the rear lamp fittings, the tailgate strut mounts and the upper part of the boot surround-the joints and bolt through fittings and fited rubber seal strip etc it was none of these. Went through using talc and sprayed everwhere with water to try and identify the leak source without success.

My leaks were from the lower part of the hatch channel either side from where there are body joints each side or the mountings for the rubber buffer blocks. There were no signs of cracking at the bodty joint. Anyway I used Capatain Tolleys Crack Sealer on the body joints and the rubber block mounting and BINGO it was sorted.

Captain Tolleys is a thin milky coloured liquid that seeps into a crack and then sets and seals the crack from any further leaks. It may need a few applications but it really works. This stuff is used extensively on boats, which do have a tendacy to leak by the windows, coachroof, bolt through fittings etc and it always works except where there is a large gap which obviously will not seal with this method.

Your leak may be somewehere else as this is a problem with the Avensis judging by other posts on this matter where reportedly there can be leaks in many different places but if it is a hairline crack somewhere Capn Tolleys will fix it.

Good luck with it -it is really horrible having water sloshing about in the wheel well and sides of the boot!
