Hi from Mahone Bay NS

[R0N]

About two months ago I managed to get a green 1998 1.9 L Z3 and I'm having a great time driving about the countryside. It's a great car with lots of pep and a neat-sounding muffler.

My wife and I went to a weekend of SteamPunk at Sherbrooke Village a few days after getting it. Drove four hours both ways with the top down — fantastic! Storage, with all our paraphernalia, was tight!-) It gets lots of attention on the road and when parked.

One concern: a tiny leak where the door, window, roof meet. It can, over time, put quite a bit of water on my seat. Any ideas?

I would like a tonneau cover though I appear to be managing without so far.

Welcome Ron from New Scotland...lol

A very warm welcome @Ron,

They really are addictive cars these Zeds . Some pictures of yours would be nice.

The leak you refer to generally needs the tiny hole where the top of the screen/door meets filled. Silicone sealant, or whatever you can get where you are! Will try and get you a picture in a bit so you can see it.

Gary

Pictures as promised, assuming this is the issue you describe

This side has already been "fixed"

Hi Ron,

And Welcome from me too. In addition to Gaz suggestion, also try some Gummi Pflege on all your rubber seals (doors, roof etc) it plumps them up and stops them drying out and shrinking, currently about £6 on ebay for a bottle, i just bought 2 for a tenner and free postage:

Welcome from me too. I have a tonneau cover but have never used it. To much hassle as far as I am concerned with our climate but here is a guide on the quickest way to fit one.

from me too. I also have a cover I've never used, as HT says unpredictable weather.
