Fiddling round as you do I have noticed tiny is very wet behind the drivers seat. I haven't noticed any leaks per se any ideas where it could be coming from?

I have noticed my hood sits a bit high around the tbar areaso could be from there if so any ideas how to fix ?

Whereabouts behind the seat? Down the firewall or under the floor carpet? Mine is soaking under the floor carpet, but it is coming in through the windows and finding it's way around.

Ironically, I need a dry day to sort it out.

You might find it is the window seal on the drivers window. Best way to check is to put a hose onto the car and see if you can see any water running down the inside of the window.

I used to get this problem. I found the problem was here;



I solved it by sliding the rubber on the roof slide back down slighly - it had risen up a little [I'm really trying to aviod the double entendres here] and then also padding out the rubber on the car side by putting some foam inside the stip to push it out a little.
