GRRRR the only leak but its driving me crazy!

Post by ravenfox »

My cabby leaks (I know and?) but its right up in the corner on the drivers side latch. Right between the window and the latch. The seal looks ok, but I can't get it to stop leaking any suggestions? I can take a picture and show where. It's one nice drip.


Thanks

Yes that would be a big help to have a picture.

It's true that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Is it leaking from the handle, or between the seal(s)?

If your door is sagging then your window isn't sealing flush to the seal at the vent window.
You can remove the seal and adjust your seal tray to the outer most setting, so that it will go over the window more.
When you put your top up, do you roll down the back windows a inch? This will reduce the strain on your front latch so you can tighten it a bit more.

Also the front seal at the "a" pillar should be clean of dirt, and lubricated.... Clean the 3 wipers and coat with vasoline then adjust your j-hooks.
