I found the ZT leaking from the light seals, the waist rails and just under the left edge of the screen, it was getting into the seam there and it's bad enough to need my welding some new metal in there when I set about the bodywork in the new year. I used Tiger seal to seal the lights after gluing the seals together and blobbed some over the other bits, so far it's dry. Like Andy says, the sealer is getting old and splitting in places, my ZT was letting water in just behind the bonnet hinges due to splitting sealer on both sides, this water was what got under the floor soundproofing and it's all been replaced now for peace of mind, my floor will stay good but others will rot out from inside, of that I'm 100% certain.
