gingergman Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 try to ajust the handles on the roof to make it fit tighter, or you could use a small amount of clear silicone on the rubbers to stop the gab a bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest millward Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Will have a bash at the hadle adjustment and if that don't work al start think about silicone cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gregg Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 On the rubber seal between the windscreen and the roof there is a little lip on either side that is around 1 cm long. It wears with time and causing the roof to leak. I believe the only way to resolve it to replace the whole seal but the problem is, there is no point changing it for a second hand one as that too maybe worn, and it is hard to find a new one. I have the same problem but I avoid rain now. Not the best country to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingergman Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 the only thing to do is try to replace with better second hand parts, not all cabs leak there so there is some good rubbers out there still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KarlosG Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have started to suffer with this in the last couple of weeks too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 mine has decided it wants to leak now and on my side lol, but we have been having mega rain i suppose. my car seems to have developed a few new probs after being in a garage for 9 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spenny Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 to solve this problem all you need to do is cut 2 little squares from an old pop bottle one for drivers side one for passenger. open the roof and just above the rubber on the roof insert the plastic squares on top of the rubber thay should just slide in . when you close the roof this will make a shield for were the two rubbers meet stopping the rain from getting inbetween the seal. i used some black plastic so it just looks like part of the roof. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
