Thanks for all the above ideas. I was surprised how we get to the back window, from beside the driver's door hinges.

On Grivas's comment on it being the part number 8, the white recesses across the scuttle, against T-Cut's part number 7 it's a combination of the two - I get the impression from another comment above that there is a seal of some sort in the white part number 8. That is why I have used grease, both in the hole of number 8 and all around the underside of number 7.

Once we get some rain I will see if the leak occurs with the car stationary. If not then, - on the move. Hopefully this will end the matter. If not, looks like the whole dash will have to come out to search for water trails, and then trace these back to the actual cause.

Does anyone know where the earlier references are? The search facility does not show them.

Thanks again for all your entries.

Geoff.
