Hi all,

As you'll all have noticed, we've had a bit of a downpour over the last 3 days. This led to me noticing a damp smell within my boot, and on further inspection this evening I found that the passenger side of the parcel shelf is wet! It's only wet at the base, the interior cabin aspect is totally dry.

Never noticed this before, it's a new problem. Not entirely sure where this water is coming from but I have two initial thoughts:

1. Rear windscreen seals?
2. Rear pillar drains?

Any help would be much appreciated. [Pacer]Pete, please impart some wisdom!

Could also be water elsewhere in the car causing condensation on the glass, which runs down the screen onto the parcel shelf.
