Raindrops........

[l3ggy]

Ok so after the rain over the last few hours it looks like my roof in the main is pretty water tight. I do have some rain drops on the drivers seat which appear to be getting in between the drivers top edge of the window and the roof seal. Any known fixes for this, other than roof replacement? Seal replacement?

Thinking roof replacement........

Thanks

I'm suffering the exact same at the moment. This is what you should have a read through. No need to replace the rubbers!

Superstar mate!!!!

The only issue I have is 24-48 hours without rain lol! I'll see if I can use a friends garage. Brilliant. Thanks again

Had exactly the same but it's nothing 5 minutes with some black silicone sealant won't sort.

To check whether it is actually the triangular seals - open the hood when weather permits and squeeze the general area. If the plug seals have gone you should water/air bubbles oozing out.
You also need to keep all the rubber seals in good condition so applying Gummi Phlege at regular intervals helps.

I will do. Had similar seal issues with an S2000 a few years back. The car overall just needs some TLC

To add to my comment above I thought I had bought a dog when I got mine because on the first night of heavy rain the seats were literally soaked through. However after sealing the Triangle plugs I only get mabe a couple of drops of water in the worst of rain storms which I find acceptable for a 18 year old fabric roof. Next on the list is sorting window seals to get it 100%!
