Another point of entry is the holes for the chrome trim strips on the wings. Six holes per side - you can just see them in this pic.

I'm beginning to wonder if there's a similar point of entry underneath the D-post finishers (directly aft of the rear quarterlight) - judging from the pic in link above, there appear to be four fixing holes there. See 5th & 6th pics down this page and no7 here. The back of the finisher is shown in one of the pics here (four clips).

Also, if anyone has adjusted the boot lid positioning (to stop it colliding with the rear window trim) and done it wrongly**, rain seems to be able to enter the boot via the lid opening.

** I did exactly that and now I can't get it back into the right position because I cant hold both sides of the boot at the same time and re-tighten both hinge brackets. Aarrgh!
