This is really getting to me now, I've fixed one leak but found another now (FFS how many can ya get?) anywhom, water is getting in somewhere and dripping down under the speaker in the left rear of the car (as if you were in driver seat) where is the water getting in? is it through the rear screen seal?
cheers in advance!

If you've got pop-out rear windows, water can get in through them; not sure if it can get into the boot, but it's usually the cause of rusty arches.

When I had a 2 door, I replaced both rear lamp gaskets and also the seal around the petrol cap locking mechanism (the bellows-like one) When it still leaked I used a block of wood as protection and gently banged the boot seal flange upwards to create a tighter seal around the bootlid which cured the problem.

it's definately not the gaskits as they are new as I bought some and it's fixed 1 problem. I think it might be the sunroof, will have a mooch in a bit cheers folks!
