Hiya everyone

 

Thought I had cured this but seeing as the last few days has been pissing down heavily i still have leaks! Seems mainly to be coming from where the Targa roofs meet the body of the car. I have checked the drainage holes and pipes and all are clean and connected as they should be. I have also changed the nylon runners in both Windows and the Windows close firmly against the rubbers. I'm getting water behind the drivers seat in the footwell and it's also dripping down the drivers pillar where the Targa meets the body of the car. Another leak is also on the passenger Targa where it meets the body. Looking at each end of the targa there seems to be some kind of adhesive felt? Do these wear? And could this be where the water is getting in? If so where can I buy this stuff? EBay possibly? Or do i need new rubbers? If so does anyone have any good ones for sale on here.

 

Thanks in advance

Foot well will probably be the drain pipe from the targa. Goes out down there.

 

I believe jeffTT did a write up on targas leaking in the past and how to fix

I've reviewed Jeff's post and all my drainage hoses are connected... The water is definitely coming from both sides where the targa meets the body ....

It`ll probably be coming from the targas themselves. The foam on the end caps stops sealing. Good way to tell is take one out press your ear to the panel and listen for the tell tale trickle from within. May even run out the end.

Yeah Santa it is! And i could have done with a wetsuit this morning!! Few days back I siliconed the join where the Targa sits on the rubbers just to see if it is where the Targa meets the rest of car obviously leaving the drain holes and now the water is slightly coming through but now coming through the center light!!

If it`s coming through the Interior light the only way it can travel there is from the centre roof bar and along the headlining. Water is a bugger to locate as it travels and finds the smallest of gaps.

The centre bar is bolted in with silicon surrounding the holes. Maybe it`s worn. It`s the same with the targa trim. If the sealant around the screws has gone water will gradually fill the inside of the targa panel. They`ll rust too.
