When I got my RA28 I had the same problem. After stripping the boot and after fainting at the rust hiding in some places I got busy with a wire wheel, some killrust and some bituminous paint (the auto stuff not the plumbers :0). The rubbers in the boot are a little squashed but the guy had the boot sitting high on the lock to avoid a small rattle. I have lowered it again (putting up with small rattle after 4000RPM) and now the boot is sitting better on the rubbers and I get a lot less water coming in (only a few drops per trip in the wet which just sits harmlessly on the bitumin until it evaporates). The bituminous paint also helps reduce the amount of noise from the back of the car. I will be trying out myself the "Selastic Window Seal Repair" that "The Witzl" recommend's though as the boot seal is sitting on some hastily repaired metal (most of it was eaten through with rust and the previous owner tried to rebuild it with melted lead/solder) which still has lots of holes.
