Kia Niro 2016 First Edition 1.6 Petrol/Hybrid

Has anyone ever had an issue with the boot leaking after heavy rainfall? In the 8 years of ownership this is the first time it's ever happened.

Came to my car this morning and there was a pool of water on top of the parcel shelf.

Think it may have come from the spoiler as removing the plastic trim inside the boot revealed the foam around the wiring for the rear light in the spoiler was soaked too.

I've not tried yet (job for the morning) but was going to see if any of the bolts for the spoiler need tightening.

Has anyone ever had the same issue? Or any tips for fault finding/fixing?

Check the seals around the tailgate and the spoiler area. Tightening the spoiler bolts might help, but also look for worn or misaligned seals.
