Its usually the 2 drain plug grommets in the scuttle try that get leafs and muck in them make sure you can push your fingers right through them till you see you finger out the other side through the cross rubber grommet

other than that matrix leaking but you would be able to smell it

Cabby or tin top?

Dont ask what your club can do for you, but what can you do for your club?

check for holes in you bulkhead where screws may have been in the past.  Mine had an alarm removed and left me with a couple of holes.. Get someone to shine tourch in while you look up behing your dash (a bit awkward).  or possibly rubber washers perished on screws still in.
