I wrote a thread on here a while back about a series of grommets to seal in. I'll see if I can find it. It solved all my water issues.

Mine used to mist up really bad and I traced it to 2 areas

I when you lift tailgate there are 2 bungs at the top of the hatch area. My ns one was just weeping and dampening the back of the headlining so no visible water.

The second was a grommet on the os just behind the bumper again was just weeping through when it rained but that left a tiny puddle in spare wheel well.

The way I cured mine was remove the 2 grommets at the top of the tailgate and reseal with sealer and I did the same with grommet behind bumper, bit more fiddly but the bumper didn't have to be removed.

I can now say I don't have any misting whatsoever, it's transformed the car in my opinion. Not necessarily your issue but well worth the look it took me weeks to find. Loads of posts about the problem very little on resolutions.

Hope this helps..... Good hunting
