I took a 91 900 for a test ride and found water on driver side floor and
about three inches of standing water in the boot. Owner claimed must have
got in there due to the storm. LOL. Are the convertible tops prone to leak?
If so where should I look? The top appeared to be in very good shape. The
only problem area I noticed was at the base of the rear window. Maybe the
drain holes are plugged?

The cabin air-intake on the bonnet can ingest leaves. Open the bonnet
and look into tt and you might find the drain at the bottom blocked.
Lots of rain can then overflow into the driver's side, RHD!
