Hi, I am aware that my convertible roof is leaking but the rear footwell behind the passenger seat is always soaked, when I lift the carpet there is a small puddle. I have been drying it up every now and again (ANNOYING, SMELLY).
I am sure it's not all coming in form the roof but where else? anyone had this problem before? I dont want to start seeing rust so plese advise me. thanks

Have you checked the boot seal? Rear light seals? Rear inner wings near the arch for holes?

im having the same problem figured it out to be the rubber seal that wraps around the shoehorse cover(storage for hood) only worth getting a new one currently got a cover over the top as its my second car and dont drive it much

hi. i used to have the same problem on my convertible. i never actually could work it out but i ended up scraping away the factory sealant on the floor under the carpet and after bending the tabs, knocked out the circular "drain plug". i then kept standing on the carpet to squeeze the water out! i fitted the plug back in losely fitted to allow any more water to drain away. good luck with solving. adi
