Default Leaky Roof

Not sure if this is the right part of the forum for this question...but

I have on 03 reg S2000 and have noticed that when it really rains then water seems to store up in seal and when i drive off it falls into the car. It happens on the passenger side just above the top of the passenger window where there is a rubber spongy bit as part of the roof seal.

Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?

cheers

I've found parking on a slope or when the car chassis is slightly twisted sometimes causes rain to seep in.

Its strange because it is not parked on a slope and is only really prevalent to passenger side and only since it been pouring down the last few days.

I didnt notice it before even when the car has been jet washed.

I have just started getting this problem too on my 2002 S, on the passenger side and its sounds from the same area as you. Haven't had time to investigate this proper yet, but hopefully the seals need a bit of a clean or a re-fit. Doesn't help that the poor thing is outdoors most of the time...
