Dear Diesel, I do no think so that your car has the same leaking problem to that of my car. In my case, I did not notice dropplets of water. The entire boot was floaded. I should have taken pictures of the sparewheel compartment (as most of the water was accumulated there) to show you. It was like a swimming pool. In my opinion, you do not have to pull the gutter trim off, just pour some water onto the point indicated by the yellow arrow (use a hosepipe) and check the outcome. Crispy
