AS my roof has decided to leak in an odd place ive borrowed a mates hardtop , blends in quite well i thought



my roof has sprung a leak , it seems to be coming out of the hood frame , at the fold where the top 2 rubbers meet ? any ideas how and why its leaking here ?
heres the spot , the roof seems ok .

I thought that was normal and put it down to its ''character''
Mine leaks from there, but it doesn't go out in the rain that much. Sorry, thats not helpful at all is it!

Hmmm

You kinda lose your JPS effect with the roof

[DennisTheMenace]

No , No it's not

if we have a nice day I will have a look . I know that my hood is lacking tensioner cables , but if they were the cause shirley it would have leaked ages ago ?


new roof time methinks

Look for the tinyest cracks in the edge of the roof. It's them what lets the water on to the rubbers and between your gap. As a temporary repair you can tape them over. But basically it's new roof time.

Jack Smiths trimmers in Swansea for you.

Have you tried giving the hood a good clean and waterproof treatment? If water beads & runs off it's less likely to seep through the cracks and cause leaks
