Default Re: Leaky roof?

You say it's the "same" as the original poster, but is it? Where does it appear that the water comes from?

I once had water run out of the gasket on the passenger side as I put the top down - ONE TIME, during the test drive of my second roadster, I drove that car 70,000 miles over five years and it never occurred again. I have no clue what that was about. If it is coming from the side gaskets (over the windows) I'd look at how the gaskets are placed (they simply snap in place), if there are gaps between the gasket pieces, then sure, water can seep in and lodge there.

As our cars age, those gaskets are getting to be an issue. When we changed my top, I had to re-seat my passenger side gasket maybe six times over a few weeks before I got it in there correctly. But the car is never in the rain, so it never leaked.
