danielsatur, I went out and got the items you mentioned to resolve the Bonnet (hood) water leak problem, i.e. black baseboard trim & Loctite glue and was ready to apply your fix, but first I wanted to do your water test.
When I did the water test I found that the specific location that water leaked into the area of the Throttle body and associated connectors was by the 2 hold down screws access points in the cowl.
So I did the following:
1. Remove the 2 black plastic covers to the access point.
2. Use black Silicon Sealant around the edges and place it back in the access points (Make sure you put on plastic gloves!)
3. If you like you can do the other 5 as well to make sure that no water goes into the engine area.
4. Let dry
Then do the water test again.
I found that water no longer got through and was sent to the sides where it drains
out.
I also tested how hard it was to remove the access covers once silicon sealant was on them.
I found that a small knife used around the edges would cut the sealant and then a flat screwdriver can be used to pop out the covers.
This is an easier method to stop the water leaking into the Throttle body area.
I tried to add pictures but could not. I have the same post on Jaguar Forums with the pictures.
