Anyone know where I can get some? Or any windscreen seal would do.
I have a swimming pool in my boot!!  
Water's entering at the rear air vewnts where the seal has perished:

Normal grade silicon is corrosive / not the best for motors.
I had tiger seal when I had to bodge up the STi lights on my impreza......really nasty stuff!! Does the job though!!
