Good job mate. Me likewise. Still have an adjustment issue with the o/s window... getting a little wind noise, but I reckon playing a bit more with the eccentric guides will sort that. Also noticed less noise too now there's a snug fit again. Fewer squeeks and a rattle has gone as well.

maybe the door/glass needs adjustment like mine did
with the new seals pushing the door out a little bit more there is now a small gap between the glass and the b pillar rubber

Yeah, it's just a question of adjusting glass and t -top till it's perfect. Fiddly though isn't it?

mine is dry like the proverbial bone now! Only one problem though - I fitted a new seal on the glass tbar and it doesnt seem to sit down far enough on the car so that the t bar seal is higher than the A and B pillar seals and there is a gap between the roof and the window now. i cant adjust the window as it fits perfectly with the A and B pillar seals and these would stop it rising any further - what should i do?

Cheers

Get the eccentric guides from Mr T, fit the one side and pull the t-top down. Both sides cost me about £12 if I recall correctly.

i asked my dealership how much the eccentric rods cost and they told me it was £70+VAT!! Do you have part numbers for them as they must have quoted me for the wrong thing!!

damn! well after some more of this crappy weather I've discovered that my car seems nicely sealed when parked up, but when moving in heavy rain it seems to drip at the back of the window down onto your shoulder.

It's something I'm going to have to watch but not a major on my list for the time being. I'll just leave the coat to soak it up.

i had this too after replacing the roof seal - if you replace the one on the tbar glass itself, it seems to cure it.
