Hi,
I think I have found where the leak is coming from. The drives side speaker cover seems to be damp and very flexible. I have been parking the car with the nose lower than the back so the only options I can see the water coming from is. 1. The seal around the 1/4 light and 2. the fuel filler area. Is there any others I should look at tomorrow?
 
Take the door card off and check it has the plastic stuck to the door has no rips and also the drain holes in the door are ok. Should be a pipe conected to the inside behind the fuel flap, but if this has come off I'm not sure where the water will go[&:][&:] Other areas are the sunroof drain pipes and the drains from the scuttle panel being blocked.
 
I have water leaking in from the fuel filler drain hole and it is running down the inside of the rear wheel arch and pooling (along with a leak from the light clusters) in the right rear boot storage well . I think the hole is pretty much over the centre of the wheel arch so it may also run towards the front of the car depending on the gradient . Having checked the drain pipes it appears the water is getting in due to a poor seal around the rubber grommet . I have ordered a new one from porsche for a wallet busting £3.50 which will hopefully stop the leak .
 
Hi, It is the top of the 1/4 light seal. I'm going to get a new one ordered and see if it fixes the leak. Can anyone give me some advice on how to remove the 1/4 light and install the new rubber surround? Thanks
