Look at the rear wheel arch - front face. Is the underseal at all lifted? Is it really as solid as it appears? Look under the back seat - is there any signs of rusting in the corners by the wheel arch. Shine a light into the fender louvres, front part - any rust visible/ This is a favourite way in for water - between the double layers of metal, behind the underseal then through the panels into the rocker area and out the lower heater outlets. It can even be a problem on otherwise perfect-looking cars. Is the front fender to body joint OK? No rust up behind the fusebox etc? Dave.
