Reco2k have you had chance to have a look at yours yet? Both the insides of the rear quarters are quite wet but I'm positive that it's condensation because my rear lights are damp too, have tried water proofing the welds with sealer but it's still getting in, not loads but enough to fill that bit I marked in red up, I'm tempted to just stick the boot lining back on an forget about it.
I'm having the problem.

I have sealed the lights, sealed the vent and water STILL gets in and collects in a puddle.

Too deep - they are at the top right up under the rear deck black trim edge
You would notice them so my guess they have gone for a walk.
Maybe your problem starts there, water will run down inside the wings.

It would seem that everyone with this problem needs to get behind the roll bars and remove the plastic tray to see where it's coming in.

Sounds like the rain rail to me

Behind the roll hoops where the soft top folds on to?

Is the rain rail a real pain then?

It's not that I'm not listening I just don't understand where you mean and find it hard to comprehend how something 'inside' the cabin could be the cause of the leak?! I have my Hard top on remember so the guttering for the soft top is not used, it runs straight off onto the boot lid area.
