| Roof racks, rear quarter windows, rust holes in the rear wheel well areas and probably other places. Door hinges have been known to leak, but would leak into the opposite side.

| The best approach is to hose the car down and fish on the inside for signs.
The well is the lowest point, so top down is your best approach, but if you live in the NE bottom up IMO.
New rubber nutsert in the roofrack rails are an easy target. Then clearing out and replacing the rubber in the body channels in the roof where the body meats the roof. Glass seals are possible and harder to resolve since there are no replacement seals.
Beyond that its a turkey shoot. | |

| The area around where the rear lamps wiring and fasteners are is yet another place to look. | |
