We had some pretty heavy rain over a couple of days last week.
Now, my SL is normally snug and dry, under a cover, but, as luck would have it, a tyre issue had put my wifes Kuga out of commission for just those 2 days, so, the SL did get wet.

Anyway . . . .to the problem.
On the underside of the boot lid, on all the mechanicals and pneumatics for the boot lid/roof operation, there was a lot of what looked like, condensation; an even spread of fine droplets of water (see photo, which is not as clear as I'd hoped, but, it helps)

There was enough water to make the "wing" of the boot divider very wet.

I repaired the lower seal on the rear window last year and it seems to have held . . .until now.
My questions are;
Is this the rear window bottom seal again?
Is there anwhere else the water could be getting in, to make the side wing of the boot divider wet?
If not, any suggestions as to cause?

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem on mine, and it was the rear window lower seal.

Thanks
If it is the lower seal, at least I know how to do it
Looks like a job for a nice, spring day
