Must be some sort of special water that can get through enough sealent to sink a boat :rofl

You could may well be correct, weather pending this weekend I'm going to spend a bit of time investigating.

I found how the water is getting in mine now. On the outside where the small recess body moulding is my paint had a crack in all the way along. The water was running down the panel and going behind through the crack. The panel needs replacing now. For the time being i have smeared some sealant over the crack and hey presto its dry inside. I will upload a pic later. How's your paint work in the same area??

So have you found the source yet? Have you tried using a hosepipe to see where the water comes in?
