    Have you looked through this: Water Ingress

    A pillar, windscreen or door seal would be the starting points. Try running a constant small, low pressure, stream of water over suspect points and see what happens.

    Just a wild one. I saw an article in a pom mag where the join in the drain gutter was not sealed properly. The owner sprayed some wax sealant in and it sealed when it dried. lanotec maybe?

    Yes. The four joining "clips" at the rear gutter are always suspect. Take them off & you may find a lack of sealant behind. Squeeze some sealant in & Robert is your Mum's bruv.
    The angle under the gutter where it meets the side panels could also be leaking (loose fixings) A thin bead of sealant along there may be beneficial.

    in my first disco it was leaking at the top of the alpine windows and running down the inside of the roof and down the A pillar.

    and in my 90 the gutters wernt sealed up as well as they should have been.

    cheers phil
