Hi David
You shouldn't be getting water in from the lower hinge connections, if it does leak there it should just go onto the lip where the dome rotating wheels run. Sounds to me like there is nothing sealing the join where the side pieces attach at the top, on the original kit there are a number of pieces of waterproof tape that go over the area of the upper lip where the dome wheels run and seal it., when I rebuilt mine I used a silicon sealer to completely fill in the gap and I extended it upward as well to fill in most of the remaining gap. To get at the area you will probably have to remove the inner ring and the join covering moulds. Other than that there should be no other way for the water to come in.
Cheers
