After a lot of rain or washing, when I open the roof a lot of water falls down at the first fold (i.e. your shoulder gets wet, moreso on the passenger side). It appears to collect in the roof mechanism but when raising the roof, this part goes up vertically so it then all leaks out onto the side of the seat (where my shoulder is).

How do I fix this? I regularly grease all seals but can't see how water gets into the mechanism.

 

hmmm dracaro ... you have been an owner for ... 7 years? and you are only just posting this ? This has happened with my S since day one of ownership .. I put it down to a feature

 

I've got mine for 2years and it does the same for 2years . I just have a towel in the car to dry the places after opening the roof .

 

Up until last year it was fine and didn't leak and I want to fix it

 

you need to fit the mod to make the 'catches' adjustable - that way the seal is tighter so no water can run back in the channels

 

I had this problem for the first time recently. Nothing a healthy dose of Shinetsu couldn't cure.

 

heh heh well, I hope someone offers a fix and me you and HR at least, can get our roofs fixed

 

Mine does this, the rail fills up & then empties when you pull away or drop the top. I've tried everything on the site, to no avail. Last week, clutching at straws, I sprayed the entire rag with silcon grease. Guess what, no leaks. For a week. Then the grease washed away & it started again. I think the rag itself goes porous.

Hmmm I don't know if people know this but when I was changing my roof the rubbers on the roof were slightly torn on the inside. They collect water and then it must be emptied out when the roof is dropped back!
