My top is leaky


My convertible top leaks a little bit around the back window area but i cant tell exactly where its coming from and it tends to add up so its like a pool sometimes in my car which is nice when you want to go fro a swim but sucks when you want to drive the car! any quick fixes for this or do i have to blow a wod of cash at some specialty shop??

you have to find the leak. unless theres a hole in the material, its a seal. Take a hose on a dry day and try different spots. around the back window then the sides etc. Be carefull what you use to seal the hole becuase of the way the top folds down. You dont want to disrupt the folding or you could have worse problems later. The seals in the vert in my opinion are shitty. I have had some issues with pins across the top coming out and minor leaks. Make sure you keep it conditioned too to keep it soft and flexible... especially in Cleveland where the weather goes from bruning hot to freezing in a heartbeat. Try your hardest to fix small inperfections yourself becuase from my experience, roof repair is expensive. Better to spend your hard earned cash on a mod.

All else fails, go to the flats and get a beer!!

Leaks


I had the same Leaks. It comes from the seams by each of your window defrost Cords on the inside. I used silicone.
