Roof leak

[Liam-O]

Now I'm not an expert on the makeup of the convertible roof but I'm sure it's waterproof but it seems to me that I have water coming through and into the boot. It's definitely coming from the side of the hood, between the door and the rear (but before it turns for the back. Here are my theories...

1) I park on an upward facing hill, so when water comes in to go down the drainage holes, it diverts backwards instead of going into the drainage

2) it's actually coming through the hood, so it's possibly split? However I can't find anything to suggest this?

Any ideas if the above 2 are realistic? It's collecting in the boot but if checked by drenching the car and putting my little brother in the boot and it's not coming in through any seal on the boot of tail lights, it's definitely from the side and only seems to happen when on a upward facing hill (but it's difficult to see around there because it's very tight around there)

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!

Hi, I had the same problem last winter. The rear quarter in the boot fillling up. Yes coming in from the top. I cured this but would not guarentee 100%. I squeezed silicone grease between the roof rubber seal and body and on the sem of the hood wher it goes below the level of the body (4 cm in total) It worked!!!

However the roof motor failed late spring and I thought may have the same problems again after thwe work was completed, but no, all good!
