I have sealed the T bar roof which has kept the seat dry and is no longer leaking from there but the carpet still gets soaked and it looks like water is running down the front edge of the doorcard (near the speaker grill) from somewhere then dripping on to the carpet. Has anyone had this problem and more importantly, did they solve it and how? the car is a 92 NA TBar. I've found that my tbar leaks minimal, only in really bad storms, but because the winds are that high, its actually blowing water in under the passenger door.

I watched inside with the carpets out whilst the water came in. Inside the seal down the A-pillar. Likewise I've new seals on the way (buy from the US and they're not too bad) to cure.(well maybe 15yrs, I think they've leaked gradually for a few yrs before now) and only cost £100 per side delivered (I'm doing both but could leave it at one) I don't think thats too bad for the extra dimension of roof off driving. That's not bad, from the US to my door in 11/12days. I'll try to get them on in the next week and report back on hopeful success and dry floors. Got yours on yet Jay? Will be watching my floors carefully though. Got in the car today and it was like sitting in a pond! I just hope after £140 that it works!!! Cheers for your help guys.weasilfreak wrote:yeah, i am having to bite the bullett too and get new seals.

Get some silcone spray lubricant from Halfrauds to keep them tip top so it doesn't happen again One (n/s) side was definitely shot, perished at the very top of the A pillar/roof so hopefully these will cure it now. Once we'd got the interior trim off you could see the path the water had been taking down the inside!! jmachling wrote:weasilfreak wrote:yeah, i am having to bite the bullett too and get new seals.

Unless your windows aren't aligned well and/or your bodyshell isn't straight, it should certainly work.
how easy are these jobs to do? any tips would be great. took about 3hours including trying to find work lights cos it went dark on me lol fairly straightforward job really If it does get the carpets out and get someone to play a hose v slowly over the roof, door and windscreen. Give it time. The doors have rain channels.. check for blockages. Side window mis-alignment should be considered. Windscreen incorrectly fitted? It's surprising sometimes the path water will find. Hope you sort it.
