Buscemi Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi All, hopefully this is in the right place. During the recent biblical rain storms, my car has developed a leak starting at the area where roof meets top of window seal (Driver's side is worse than near side). The seal at the top of the window has a 'split' on both sides but I'm not sure if it is designed like that or is an actual split (photos attached). Could someone with a convertible do a check and report back please. I'm not sure if sealing the split area is the right thing to do. Thanks in advance.

ZMANALEX Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Replacement seals are in stock if required. I will check on the "split" that you refer to when I am back in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buscemi Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Thanks Alex. I think it probably is supposed to be there as when I peel back the rubber (on both sides) there is a hole inside (perhaps meant to be a drain hole?). It would be good to know what the norm is and why it's potentially leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Water ingress from the top front is usually down to a worn/perished/badly fitting out of shape seal and drawing on my experiences a new seal is the fix. Been a year since I have replaced a seal so will have a look for you tomorrow when next in the shop and give you a shout back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Good roof seals are in stock. There should be no splits. Photos will be posted up tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Some images for you. Make sure that the drain route is clear which is highlighted with the welding rod. Just drop me a PM if I can help you further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
