Hi Any ideas on the common place for water to get in the rear, these seals are very expensive so wondered to start with the lower door seal or the hard top seal?

Its tracking in on the drivers side, only just started, been dry up to now.

Advice appreciated.
 
I had water getting in through a hole where a rubber grommet should have been in the rear corner behind the boot liner. I think the hole is for the tow bar electrics.
If it is the seals it might be worth taking off the hard top and giving all the seals a good clean.
I believe a wipe with brake cleaner is meant to make rubber swell which might fix the issue but best double check before trashing your seals. ;)
 
Thanks all, its not obvious where its tacking in from, could be on the lower bend just under the electric connection point. Might be the lower tail gate seal. Have on coming next week from LRParts who where the best priced.
Removed the hardtop and cleaned it, was two small splits on the outside but they seem to be on all pictures I find of these. Did see any obvious water tracking from that.

Now pulled the rear carpet and its soaking underneath.
