so i did the leak test, and the water is definitely leaking from the front of the pan. I poured water and i can see water draining from behind the drivers seat back corner in picture 3 above-red arrow (after removing all the foam of course). I took some pictures and saw a small tear maybe, but just superficial, so i used the silicone adhesive and patched it up. see picture of the tear. I am not sure if this is the cause of the water leak, but i didnt want to remove that part of the top to see under it yet, afraid i might mess something up even more, like not knowing how to put it back together again. but if the leak continues, i guess i have only 1 choice that is to remove that base and see whats under it. please, let me know what u think. could that tear be causing all that leak? thank you

Ya, i know about that immobilizer and the cost to fix it. so far, its been towels under that carpet and if its heavy rain, i just put the car cover. But still looking for the problem!!

so i read so many threads trying to figure out the source of the leak. Took it to porsche mechanic who couldnt find the source and suggested to change the drain pan on left side (which involved removing the convertible top around 6 hours labor...). So now I've been stuck with putting a towel under the carpet behind the driver side to protect the alarm module box. I included some pictures if anyone can suggest anything or solution to this problem. The drain pan (picture 1) looks intact, no holes anywere. Tested the drain (picture 2), with all water freely flowing in front of the rear left wheel. The arrow from the inside (picture 3) shows mainly where the water is getting in. My concern is could there be anywhere else, other that the drain pan/hole where water can get there? one of the pictures is from outside (picture 4), there is a hole there, i dont know what it is mean for, but it is same on the other side and the other side doesnt leak. so my guess, its not the problem. Will appreciate any help or suggestion. PS: the leaves are just from yesterday, parked under a tree. not an issue since i've been dealing with this for the last month. thank you hope Maurice sees this posting...
