Water Running Off Tailgate Into Boot

I have a 2009 Mondeo Tit x sport and when I open the tailgate during or after rain water runs into the boot.

The edge of the rear screen has a rubber channel along both sides and the bottom, the problem is the water sits on the panel below the screen then runs down the side and off the edge into the boot area.

Has anyone resolved this issue?

It looks like the issue is the water laying on the panel below the screen is running underneath the rubber sealing strip and into the boot.

This is due to the design.

As you can see the rubber has a gap between the panel itself, this is where the water runs then under the strip up the side of the screen.

I was thinking of putting some black mastic all the way along to force the water into actual channel.
