Narrowed it down to the seal on the tailgate handle Where can i get one from?
Also the water appears to be dripping behind the handle and thru the back of the lock if you get me

You can buy truckman seals by the metre or a 5m length for about £35

Also seals for the tailgate handle maybe try this if you dont want to pay OE prices : http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp?intDepartmentId=68 keep scrolling down til you find something that will work.

They also trade as North Eastern Rubber

Mine's had a leak for ages. Took the top off and resealed it with some neoprene (or rather, TRIED to) and it's still leaking.

Thing is, it's a pain in the **** to get it off, and I need a nice dry spell and plenty of hands, so I still haven't tried to reseal it AGAIN yet. I absolutely feel your pain.

as a note to all who are getting water in the tub even with a hard to or roll top fitted. i had an isuzu with a hard top. it was leaking through the window but not enough to be the cause of the amount that was in there. i rang 4x4at.com and they said that there is no product un the market that will guaruntee to keep the back dry as simply driving on a wet road will draw water in through the gaps around the tailgate. made sense to me so just put up with it. if you sort the problem great but i think its almost impossible? assuming its a worked vehicle that is. if its just used as a car then there is probably a soloution. good luck all :-)

The leak on these tops is in through the window seals, just check the streaks left after a long wet spell, they all run down from the window rubbers, get one off, measure the sizes and get to NER Seals and order some new window seal..
