Hi got in my car today to come to work, do night and it had been raining most of the day.

The storage pocket in front of the gear selector was full of water.

The car has a hard top on at present.

Does anyone have any ideas where the water has come from?

First see if the water has antifreeze mixed in with it, it should turn a bit of paper pink if its dipped into it.
If this is the case then the water is possibly coming from the heater matrix which sits above and behind the centre console, also there are water pipes that feed through the console going up to the matrix.
If it looks like rain water then maybe its coming from the snorkel, the seal has a habit of perishing and allowing rain to get in through the front bulkhead and down into the area behind the console and into the passenger footwell.
May be a good idea to pull the carpet back and see whats in the footwells too....the carpet has a plastic membrane and can be perfectly dry on top, but sitting on a puddle of water that has collected in the footwell.

Hi thanks for your reply.

It's clear water and it's coming through the top of the hard top in the middle.

Headliner at the front of the hard top is wet.

Is the alignment adjustable?

Many thanks for your reply.

The rubber seal around the windscreen gets compressed after time. You can try closing the 2 latches above screen first and then the rear 2 secondly if leaking persists I have a replacement windscreen surround rubber if you want to try one
