Hey guys so my s is leaking water from the back area all around the gap up until the door jams where its suppose to be sealed. I recently bought my s and the top was all unbolted from the back so I bolted it back up but it still seems a little loose and let's water in from the back. Can anyone tell me what the top is suppose to have back there to keep water out or some pics to get a better idea of what's going on. Maybe I didn't install it right from the back. Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

I would imagine that you have some form of leak on the rain rail. (Rubber U shaped piece that runs around the rear that the end of the roof material should sit inside of)

Make sure that is clear of obstructions, and more importantly the rivets are all in place. Any missing rivets will cause water to gain entry to the interior via the rain rail and pool in the boot.

 

Where is it suppose to have rivets? It was completly off when I got it and I just bolted it on there with the bolts that are already on there I think like 12. But is that all it has back there just that rain rail? And also when water does fall in that rain rail where does it go? sorry for all the questions I'm an s2k noob

 

Come on. anybody? Help a fellow s owner out

There we go. I think I found what I'm missing. Is that a metal brace that clamps over the U rain rail? I just bolted the rubber rain rail by it self so I'm guessins that's why its still kinda loose. Is that what it is?

 

Anyone know where I can get that metal brace?
