I take it you mean the roof was off in the down pour?

no not as bad as that - just the usual leaks and seeps that soak the interior every time the rain comes - ended up with new hood .. no difference - i live with it ...

Pull each fuse one at a time till it stops playing up and then you will know what circut is causing the issue then you have a starting place to trace the fault.

Make sure you have a diagram for your car so you know what each fuse is your pulling i should have said.
