I pulled the back seat, disassembled the flooring in the trunk and found nothing. Later on, after fussing with the rubber drain dammits on the bottom of the drip edge the water intrusion minimized mostly. I have not had a problem with water in the car except on a heavy rain or lots of snow melting, (snow is something you likely don't have to worry about). If the seal at the rear glass is bad, water will accumulate in the fiberglass enclosure for the top in the trunk area by the back seat. Water from the back half of the top of the car tends to run down to the opening at the top of the rear quarter panel. If (when) the drain holes at the bottom of the drip edge become overwhelmed, water will pool up in the trunk area and on the back floorboards. I believe the water thing is just a cross to bear on these cars. If, however, you find a cure be sure to let us know here! dave
