In this sequence of images are the effected electrical/electronic components. The left hand side with the medical bag etc was the worst. The amp was wet inside and out. The first aid kit was soaked as was the seat belt (it's probably going to rust internally if I know my luck).
The mat covering the fuse panel saved my ass for sure since it absorbed most of the water on that side although some did find its way into the fuse panel and the tail light cluster.
What I've taken away from my experience is that in all likely hood a lot of the electronic malady experienced by owners of slightly older models stems from these leaky rubber boots. In the very least it warrants investigating...what have you got to loose? Just pop off the D-post interior covers and carefully pour water over the rubber boots and look for water ingress, have a towel close at hand in case there is a leak.
