O.K. so all the seals are new within the last couple years. the front targa seal was installed by me - its a 914rubber product seems to fit correctly and the top fits nice and tight to it.
The most water intrusion was on driver's side along the base of the A pillar. it is dripping just in front of where the speaker pod is, close to the front of the door. It seems to me it is coming in under the -pillar trim. could this be getting in under the front targa bar seal? I might have to do a test with a hose and flood or spray at a specific location to see if that is where it is coming in- any other ideas would be appreciated. Like i said, have not noticed this with a light rain, just 2x now with really heavy rain. Phil |
