We fitted removeable mats to our first Cobra. Yep, they covered the entire floor area.

I wonder if some silicon might do the job? What do you think

Where Widscreen Uprights enter through the body should be sealed up with silicone. Also any other holes you make for windscreen squiters, mirrors etc.

I was also wondered wheter water would come in under the hard top behind the seats where there is a depression between the boot and the rear wheel arch?

When stationary water doesn't tend to come in from the rear due to the natural slope of the Cobra rear. Also doesn't seem to blow in there.

When travelling long distance in rain it seems to blow up over the doors and in, also blows up the windscreen and sneaks under the edge of the soft/hard top. Also depending how much pressure is on the lower windscreen seal, it can sneak under there. A bit of duct tape solves this for long trips. You can just make a ridge just after the windscreen across the door and that stops the water from blowing around the screen.
