car might of had a rear end in its time, and the person who repaired it might not lined the beaver panel right thats usually the main problem with boot leaks

did you use to have a spoiler?
if so, did you plug the wholes with the cheapo spoiler plugs?

if you did, that could be the problem. Water will definitely seep through is and run along the boot.

they are lik $6? how much u reckno i can get it fixed? and where u guys recommand?

well, depends on the job really.
any smash repair place can do it for yah.

they just put putty or something in the whole so that its covered and looks like there was never a spoiler

should cost tooooo much lol.
