Any water down the side compartments (where the CD unit is etc). There is a pipe on the bottom of the electric aerial that can drip water in there if it has come adrift,. Or the boot lid seal? Can't remember off the top of my head if the sunroof drains run past that area of the boot.

I had this when I had my '96 GS300 Sport. It was the drain plug in the wheel well. Try taking it out, drying thev well and putting new drain plugs in.

dave1 where does the drain plug go to please.how many drain plugs please.

If you remove the spare wheel you will see the plug/s, about 40mm diameter. Can't remember how many. If you remove them to let the water drain it just drains onto wherever you are parked.

Tigerfish is right, Its worth checking the sunroof drain pipe. That was my problem with water in the boot.

It runs down behind the drivers side lining panel of the boot, where the CD etc is, Mine had detached from the drain hole, by rear wheel. Just needed pushing back through the hole and problem sorted.
