I got a leak!

Post by albertross74 » Mon Dec 20, 2010 5:28 pm

I've got a leak on the driver's side on my tintop, seems like it's coming from behind the dash, manages to get my clutch foot wet which is pretty annoying!

Anyone got any ideas where it could be coming from?

Cheers

Mine had one in the sunroof that driped onto the passengers groin. :lol: Fixed that with some bathroom silicon sealant under where the trim would be around the sunroof frame and vaseline on the rubber that should seal the glass.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
