Type "rear air vent water" in Search and you will find many references.

Exterior waist trim fixings.
Had leaks from these on both saloon and tourer in the past..

Same here. Basically , forced Chrome Trim away fron bodyshell a little with matchsticks . pumped loads of Silicone all along - especially where grips are.
Removed matchsticks . cleaned off excess silicone. Leaks killed dead!
