water water everywhere

[cerbieboy]

now i am P!$$@D off.
i thought i had sorted out the water leak.... guess again.
does any body know of a fix or modification to stop rain pooling in the bottom of the doors as the door cards are soaked through.
also what is the main area to look on the bulkhead for ingress, both wells are wet.

wet door cards? water can work its way in via the loom to wing mirror control knob, and also it can get in via the speaker hole.

i taped up the loom and this cured this. as for the speaker hole i sealed this with plastic cover & mastic to divert water away from the back of the speaker.

hope this helps.
