X-Tech Leak
Went out today in the torrential rain, looked in the back and it was full of water. Can't be coming up through the tie downs or wheelarches and I had sealed the tub to side panels so thought at first it must be the roof. Anyway I removed the two rear speaker trims and found it sodden, all wiring and speakers soaked through



You can see the water marks here



Looks like its getting sucked up the capping outside and into the rear. You can just see in the corner there is quite a gap.

You can see how far the capping is away from the body.



Sealed up outside and in with gutter sealant

On the other side you can see there is a hole under the coloured wiring, normally a connector block mounts into this.




Here you can see where I filled up under the capping
