The leak is now "different" including the "shower" I had last week - never had this before! I cannot see the rear drain holes at all let alone push anything down them. Used airline easily on the fronts and they flow freely.
The whole chassis of this car seems to hold a lot of water, noticeable after any heavy rain. I found a blocked bung on one side under the rear, in my enthusiasm I pulled it out whilst still under the car and got a mucky wash....

Silicone spray will clean the seal and a toothbrush or nail brush and silicone spray is the best way to clean the seal.
However, to revitalise the seal, it needs silicone grease.
As for the heated seat switch, they do come apart easily enough.
Some pics i took when i replaced the wire ended bulb with a 3mm red LED and resistor - hopefully you can see how the switch is dismantled from there.
