ok, so i took some pics at the weekend, heres a little how to. hope it helps!
start by striping the interior out, go easy coz its so easy to brake it!
stop when it looks simula to this, but u will have to take the the pilar interior bits out aswell.
Remove this iner ruber lip and pull down the end of the roof liner. not to hard it mite brake.
this is were the water runs down. when you have dun that pull the seal off that gos all the way round the top bit of the boot. should look a bit like this.
The white bit in the pic is were you need to fill. In the pic above, you can see the metal over laped aswel. you will need to seal this to. its were the car has been put to gether but there are small gaps.
I think the best thing to do is to weald it, but that is alot of work. The gaps mite not look like much but this is were it comes in form. the little buger!!
if you want you can do what i did and sit in the back whilst somone sprays the back with water, just so you can see for your self were it is.
or simply run water along the roof rails and wach were it drips.
now you will need some sealnt or some kind of filler. I used this wich is a mixture ok gule and slealnt.
Now sleal off the inside, as shone above. then seal the outside, i also glued the window ruber seal on just to make sure. and sealed up the last clip of the roof rails. just to be safe. heres a pic.
I would test this to make sure you have got al the leaks, then simply paint over when your dun.
There you have it, hope it helps and if you have any questions just ad to this thred .
