Forget the info in this thread you have quoted, seems I was going on info from the previous post. The photo shows the red emergency release as ala-xfire says.
Water mainly comes in via a poor seal in the spoiler panel, it has a terrible seal that easily fails. The NA and SRT both suffer, the SRT also leaks at the spoiler mount bolts. There are threads on this problem.
Water can also come in via a broken corrugated hose at the top of the hatch.
