Water in boot help needed

Postby mx589 » Wed Apr 09, 2014 5:56 pm

Hey guys past 24 hrs here in melb it has been raining pretty much non stop were i am.
Went to check on my mx5 for water leaks as this is my 2nd na mx5.
and i noticed water on the drivers side next to the battery
in between the battery and shock.
Car has a hardtop so i think that cancels out the rain rail or soft top
Before i keep going on i searched the forums for water leak in the boot and i checked tail lights, antenna and frankenstein bolts (checked the antenna and frankenstein bolts with a mirror and torch)
They all looked ok.
Here is a pic of were the water is running just above the boot hinge down to a like small sound absorbing like mat, then looks like it must drip down then to the boot floor.

Anyone have any ideas or were else to look?
Any help will be appreciated thanks :)
