I simply opend the marked screw and pushed the gasket more inwards, towards the A-pillar, then tightend the screw again. Together with the application of Silicone grease, it seems to be a successs so far.
Nor more Niagara falls. The water now drips into the "Catcher" on the A-pillar.

Apply a generous amount of silicoen grease. Helped me. No its water tight, even in the car wash and while driving with high speed.

Report back almost 1 year later. I have applied silicone grease and finaly shin-etsu grease four times in the last year.

Today, i get surprised by heavy raining while driving my S2000 and used the oportunity to test it.

It´s a fully succes, no more dripping water from the roof when opening the door. Not one drop. Great!
