Default Leak

Had the Z in the rain Sunday night found out I have a leak.. Read about them on the forum, finding out where they would most likely be..
Took out all the mat's and carpet from the seat back.. Found that it looks as if water is coming in from where the top is glued down on the body.. I did not read all the threads but from what I read it does not sound like this is where it should be coming in.. Has any body else heard about a leak in this area??? Are do I need to keep looking....

My Z leaked there too. I fixed it by caulking the space where the roof meets the body. Open the trunk and look at the rear window from the trunk area. there you will see the space I'm talking about. I caulked the entire length with clear silicone. no more leak!
