I had one for months, tried absolutely everything - my leak was coming in from under the roof strips , as the water channeld down when raining was seeping in around the little bolts under the roof strips - I put gasket silicon under strips and took small bit of roof lining down and sealed underneath = job done

Worth taking all plastics on inside out around boot,speaker covers - which I found a very thin stain behind speaker plastics.

Best way sit in the boot, strip everything out and get someone to spray hose in certain sections to then break down what area its coming from.

Hope it helps and you get it sorted

Warning: not fun if you own an S40.
