I am getting water into the car through the targa/door window join. have replaced targa rubbers but no better. Can see that inside the 'A' pillar rubber there is a hole which no doubt allows water to drain though the rubber. Is this correct & what's the easiest way to clear out any blockages?

If you've got a compressor you can blast air down the holes to clear blockages. You could also try some Captain Jack's creeping cure (think that's what it's called!) that may help re-seal the trim.

Have you just replaced the rubbers on the targa or the long rubber that goes from one side right down the door?

 

At the point the targa rubber hits the rubber in the roof section, there is a little lip, that tends to get flattened, stick a match stick or similar under that section, should make a better seal

It's actually Captain Tolley's Creeping crack cure- didnt do the trick but thanks for the advice.

 

Groover- does the matchstick go in the hole? any chance of a photo coz everytime it rains my tweed gets sodden- hoping to change it when leak is cured!!

No Not in the hole, just back from the hole, run your finger over the rubber at the point the targa would meet the top of the A pillar. It tends to flatten out and needs to be raised to create a seal with the targa rubber.

 

I say a matchstick, anything that you can put under the lip of the rubber to raise it. Another idea is to use a straw under the lip, a bit of glue or heat to keep it from moving Or inject some silicon rubber into the rubber tube to expand it slightly and create a better seal

 

I will try and dig out some pics

Thanks Groover- pics would be a big help!!

Shin-Etsu grease available from Honda dealers, part number 08798-9013. This is what S2000 owners use to grease (and therefore expand) their soft top seals twice per year. It is proven to work and may just solve your problem.
