I've forgotten who gave the tip... but thanks
Sure enough just under the gutter at the back of my disco was the source
of my floods. Blocked it with roof mastic. At long last can get the carpet
back in.
Thanks again.

another place to look. I suspect mine of leaking through/behind the top of
the windscreen rubber, which is cracked a bit in places.. Can't see how
else a small amount of water gets where it does when it's parked up in heavy
rain. Black silicone sealer bought today, will try putting same in behind
the rubber when a suitable tuit-supply is to hand.

My disco leaked at the top of the screen on the near side, cured that with a
liberal supply of clear silicone all along the top and down each side for
good mearure.

Well of course you could have drilled a hole in the floor pan to let the
water out
