So, after the recent spell of nice weather I had almost forgotten about my roof leak issues. But after last nights heavy down pours (which is still ongoing here in the Midlands) my wy water leak woes have returned!!

I opened the car door this morning to find a puddle on my drivers seat and as I pulled off of the drive the water pissed out of the front of my seals (in the corner by the windscreen).

So I guess I need to do some of the above (Yes the search works people!!)

Any help or advice of what to do first? I have greased liberally over the last 12 months which has not helped one bit.

Replace roof catches, window alteration, re grease all runners and rubber?

Readjusting the windows is going to be the trick here I think.

Unfortunately, I have 5 days of work and then a very busy 3 days off fixing a lot of other cars!

Seems a simple enough process and i'm sure it'll work a treat

I've had this problem for years on my MY01 - the water jets shooting over the poor passenger from the middle seal break. Tried everything bar replacing seals - and can't stop it. I've given up on it now and just carry a roll if kitchen towel with me where ever I go.

I think it must be a mixture of all the above Window/grease/catches

I have MY2001 and have never had one drop of water inside the car , plus i've never greased the seals , but the when the roof/window are closed i can see it forms a tight seal.

Try my adjustable roof catch mod which enables you to move the catches back taking up any wear in the striker plates, see in my sig. or click Adjustable catches
If you have never replaced the striker plates your roof will be quite 'loose' by now and this enables you to really pull it down tight on to the seals.





The roof will then make a better seal across the front and in the crucial front corners.

After greasing look from outside where the seals look 'wet' against the window.
This could indicate where adjustment of the carriers is necessary.
Preferably touching in all areas rather than one or two high pressure points.



The S/steel carriers are adjustable, they have slotted holes for a small amount of adjustment. The seals themselves can move about in the carriers, check they are seated properly. Grease the ends of the seals and in all the overlaps as well.



Finally, you can adjust the window itself but I would try the other solutions first.
