With the recent rains in Brissy I returned back to my car after it was out in the rain all day and there was a puddle in the drivers foot well and the rear passenger right side carpet was wet as well
To the best of my knowlege the windows were all up and it was parked on a slight nose down decline
Is there anywhere in particular these things develop a leak from - the door rubbers seem to be in good nick
Any advice to try and sort it out

Here's the thread I started on the same thing. I was told by a friend to get new vent panels the black plastic ones up near the windscreen you can see when you open the bonnet. I had a good look and found the foam sealer was non existent and the clips holding the black panels in place pretty useless as well as the black plastic screws and holders. If you take it apart you'll see what I'm talking about. I was able to buy the clips from a Mitsi dealer but not the plastic screws so I got metal screws instead from Coventry Fasteners. I also bought some new rubber seal stuff with adhesive on one side from Clark Rubber and resealed the black panels .... took a bit of piss farting around but it seems to have worked in the heavy rain we have had over the past few days it hasn't leaked.
