took my s to a handwash and got soaked in the process! anyone elses roof leak? also wats the best thing to clean my roof with?

 

A handwash? were they using pressure washers?

 

Make sure the roof is up.

 

Seriously though, you may need to grease the rubber seals. Mine used to leak a little round the windows when I hosed the car down until I put some silicone grease on them, now they feel rubbery again and don't leak.

Where specifically is it leaking?

 

they was using pressure guns. there is a slit where the roof folds down from the window seal. seems to be leaking from there. not a lot but just one of those things that isnt needed when you buy a new car.

 

Do Halfords sell the right kind of grease for the seals?

 

This happens in my car too. Its booked into Lookers - Nottingham and I'm getting both the drivers and passengers side rubber seals replaced under warranty, no arguements / questions etc.

Its the split in the rubber seal in the middle thats causing me grief.

 

Mine does this too.
Only started happenning just after the car was 3 years old (typical!)

Again, its where the split in the rubber seal is.
It doesnt leak badly, and its only really noticeable whilst driving in heavy rain but nevertheless its still annoying.
However, the rubber seals all look intact, and there is no visible deterioration on the rubber.

 

Do you mean the split half-way across the side window? Mine never leaks there.

 

I jetwash mine at Sainsbury's, but only get the odd drop inside occaisonally (and I mean literally the odd drop).

As long as you don't direct the jet straight at any seals it shouldn't leak IME.

Gaz, you can get the grease from a stealer - part number might be in the tech faq. It's about
