I have tried to fix , first new tailgate seal, no difference, then window seal ,still leaking,can see it seeping through inside window seal and beginning to think the water is getting into the tailgate itself but cannot see how. Can anyone throw any light on this problem please, cheers

I have the exact same problem on mine, have a tailgate full of water and water coming out of the seal on the inside :-/
Look forward to any info on this too

Try Captain Tolleys creeping crack cure? I've just given this a go and think my leak has improved - will give it another application and hope it does the trick. Was recommended to me by someone here and has great reviews

Do you just apply that under the rubber seal then?

I just ran it around the seals. It will seep in if there are any areas letting in water ...

I don't think the water is coming through the window seals but somehow into the top of the box section of the tailgate itself? May have to remove tailgate for proper examination?

It all seems fine now , hallelujah. It was a combination of window seal leak and tailgate leak. Have had genuine vewib window seal fitted and adjusted the tailgate latch , cheers

Have you checked the tailgate seal for tears and holes?
