Well let's clarify that!

Boot dry, front dry, behind and under both seats soaking! It's all stripped down and drying out but question is how's it getting in? It's got wet parked up, not driving. The door seals are new so I am assuming it can only be through the roof, is that a safe assumption? I am guessing the Velcro is prime suspect - anywhere else I need to consider?
Cheers
Ian

Sorry Ian i've no idea. Good to hear the Griff is, i'm assuming, fixed and back on the road though.
Hi Ian, yep it's back and seems to be running a treat though I won't get chance to track it now until next year. It's been a right Royal tale of woe and taken12 months to sort! In summary a full engine rebuild including valves and rocker assemblies on a brand new engine that had done lest than 7000 miles, replacing a 2 year old ECU and replacing a bespoke wiring loom with another one! Needless to say not very happy with the original supplier but hey hoy time to move on

It could be coming in under the bonnet, The clutch cylinder cover, around the brake master cylinder, throttle and bonnet cables, pipes and also the nuts and bolts on the inner wings can all provide a route into the cabin via the footwell. Usual trick is to make sure they are well sealed with silicone or similar.
Thanks Colin, fortunately the front footwells are dry, it's just under the seats in the mid section of the car that's wet
