Check that water is not getting via the rear light/hatch seal and migrating forward via the rear footwell to the front - happened to me once when the n/s rear light seal failed....is your boot wet ????

I got a closed-cell rubber strip of the correct cross-section from a seal supplier at last year's NEC classic car show….can't remember the company name now but if a find it (google auto/car rubber seals???), I'll post back.

and both side windows as they don't always touch the seal without adjustment.
