SimonM Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 rub some silicon between the door seal & aerotop seal on each side that will stop the leaks do it on mine twice a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tichkent Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Silicone grease on the seals and making sure the top is down real tight got rid of my leaks. Got the silicone grease from Halfords for a few quid. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Might be worth fitting new seals, if you want details let me know and I'll get prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 i had leaking on mine (just when i washed it as in never sees cold or rain ) and found the back bracket loose, once i tighened it up it was fine. also try some cockpit shine from halford, spray it on a cloth until it is soaked, then just wipe down all the rubber seals with it, that should alow the rubber to slip a bit more so the drop into place easier make sure you wear rubber gloves though if you are thinking of driving straight after, as you cant grip the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 In five years with my old one, the only time it leaked was when I hadn't put it on straight...seriously, just pop it open and bolt it down again when you're parked on a pretty much flat surface.

steve0 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 ye i tried silcon grease on mine never leaked again but its sticky stuff on your fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocoon Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Park it on a level surface and tighten down lightly, go round again a little tighter and then once more. That should sort it, mines had extreme weather over it today and its bone dry inside. Why is it you open the door to get in and it drips on the seat ?
