Bad news, i cant find the printout
It isnt too hard to do, the hardest part is to get the plastic covers off without breaking stuff!

I had water getting in to the tyre well, & it looked like it was from rear quarter window, however turned out to be a bad install on the rear spoiler, trouble with water is it will track along metal seems, wires, rubbers etc sometimes it appears to defy logic.
The best method to be sure (& what a dealer would do) is find someone you trust to close you in the boot with a torch & get them to spray a hose over various parts of the boot until you can see exactly where it is getting in.
Could save you a lot of mucking around.
