There are seals behind the rear lenses that can fail. A memeber here does replacements. The water can often work its way down into the spare wheel well.

The third place is via the chrome strilp that runs along the rear panels.

Try to determine where water is getting in so we can help a bit more on how to solve it, it may be something you can do.

As alredy said, do remove your email address as non forum members can see it too.

Many thanks. I've checked the rear lights and resealed them. I don't think it's the side mouldings but will check. As you say the retaining pegs under the chrome trim may be part of the problem, but I have not been able to get at them! (I think it's getting in higher than the chrome strip). Also the fuel pump packed up recently and I discovered pools of water under the rear seat! Unfortunately I'm an octagenarian and not too easy to do these jobs! Thank for taking the trouble to reply.
