Next time I am near the car I'm going to look at ways to rout any water that gets past the seal, and get it back out of the car ( modern sunroofs have trays with drains under their seals. I wonder if I can do something like that?)
Im also gong to look at modern targas for ideas Just thinking out loud. More ideas to come soon |

I was just thinking about this.. I was very surprised when I took a corner in the rain and my leg got wet.. I figured dad removed something but apparently that's not the case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

That was always my complaint with my 914 when I drove it everyday. I hated getting dripped on. The only place my car would leak inside the car was the window top junction. Unlike modern cars the window seals never really sealed against the glass. Modern cars are so much better about window fit. I love the way the Corvettes and BMW E36s raise the window after the car door is closed. That really helps push the window into the window track. Those cars are water tight and quite at speed.
