I'm just curious...
I put new seals on my six when I restored it, it I'd say it leaks a little. Definitely not dry, but livable. On my new [to me] 4, the seals *look* ok, but it leaks horribly. If I park outside, I can literally get puddles of water on the floor (both sides, in front and behind the seats). -Steve |

I also replaced the famous 3 part seal and the lower targa seal, the targa side seals and verticle seals and rear targa seal. (thanks Mikey.
son of gun still leaks on both sides (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) right where the side seals but against the big (3 part) seal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I guess we all have to live it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

If it's cracked and brittle that can be the cause of leakage sometimes. |
