Leaking Targa


Recommended Posts

leaky targas are fairly common with Zs i should know :(

another thing to check is the little drainage hole near the top of the A-pillar beneath the targa as this sometimes gets blocked up with muck.

failing those, replacement rubbers are available from here for a touch over £20 the pair.

Does it need to be peanut oil, how about olive oil or seasseme seed oil all out peanut oil :duffer:

 

Thought you might be allergic to nuts.

Or there is a thread somewhere that says about tightening the window glass but I can't find it. Sure someone knows where it is.

i think it was Slick Pete, although im sure i purchased them with something else. either way replacing them didnt cure my leak at the time, I had to use rubber sealant which worked for 6 months, then failed again :headvswal

I had the BluTak on my car for about 7 months......

 

Benefits........(as opposed to my first idea of just no-nailing the things in)

It isn't a permanent adhesive,

It moulds into any shape and stops water penetrating through it.

If you get it in the wrong place you can move it or add some more.

Once the roof seals it can't be seen as it is squeezed in between the joints.

 

Downside......

It isn't as pretty when you take the roof off....some of the blutak will be attached to the cars rubber. - I wonder if there is a blactak??

Don't know if it does any long term damage.

 

Like I said it was either that or no-nails or even better silly coning the whole outside with a nice 4mm beading!!
