but it could be getting into your car via the rear of the roof if its lost its protection, or in via the door seal. sit and bucket of water time may help?

No! You cant strip seals! You whack em round the head with clubs

Water behind the seat is most likely either drivers door seal, or poor water repellency at base of hood where the velcro patch is. Water then wicks in and runs down.

That's a ocean
Specific
I reckon daz means the velcro flaps

[StardustV8]

I had this issue aswell.

Solved by removing the rivet at the top (rear) of the door seal and moving the seal around a bit as it was missing around 6mm of coverage(sealage-is that a word?)

I thought TVRs leaking were a prerequisite for owning one anyhow

Try rubbing a little Silcone grease into the roof seals, you get it from a scuba diving shop.

The rubber bit you are referring to is the known as the elephant ear. As for the wet carpet, try proofing the fabric of the roof. I ahd this problem and after much head scratching and reading on here, proofed the roof and the problem has gone.
