balmybaldwin Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I've got a little leak on the drivers side, not enough to wet the carpets, but I get a dribble down the drivers door speakers. Specifically the dribble comes down from the screen/roof joint and runs down the inside of the side window. when I open the door I can feel that the "furry" bit of the seal is wet from about 3" to the A pillar This seems to happen only in heavy rain, and if the drivers door is facing the wind, and I don't notice when driving, only after returning to the car when parked. Comparing to the other side it looks like everything is in the right place seal wise I've got a reproofing kit as i think it probably needs it (I've had it nearly a year and haven't done it) which I will do as soon as I get a good weather day, but I was wondering if there is any adjustment in the roof I ought to look at? I also have an issue where when putting the roof up the roof sometimes goes on the outside of the plastic window "Corner" guide I can prevent it by just pushing gently as the roof comes up - which I assume is not related to my little leak and is a matter of tightening the elastic. any recommended videos etc? Thanks as ever for any help! In the meantime I'm buying a storm cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could do a search for roof leak. This video should sort your other issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 @balmybaldwin - did you resolve the issue? i noticed similar on mine over the weekend in the heavy rain - open the drivers door and a dribble comes down the inside of the window and across the speaker grilles. Be good to know how you sorted it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balmybaldwin Posted March 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Reproofing the roof, and a fiddling with the seals seems to have been enough... although haven't had such heavy rain since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 You need to make sure the seals aren’t drying out, Gummi Pflege or similar is good for this. I.e this type of thing https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F261978299882 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
