Small leak/gap. How to close ?

[Jonnysnapzzz]

Hi all,

I have a small gap on the drivers side where the roof meets the A pillar. It’s not a big issue as I’m rarely out in the rain and the car is garaged. However it does leak when washing it and wonder if there is a simple fix ?? Any advice??

you can see the gap here

I am not sure if this will work with the problem that you have but it might be worth seeing if it helps.

in your photo you can see the silver hook.
If you open the roof slightly, you will notice a grub screw just behind it, if you undo that, you can turn the hook clockwise one full rotation,
Do this with both sides and this will tighten the roof up some more, The handles will be tighter to close, but it should close the gap up a bit more for you.
Remember to tighten the grub screw, (You have to loosen it quite a bit because the hook has a flat on it that the grub screw tightens onto)

Thank you both, I have gummi pflege and use it regularly.
I tightened the hook as recommended and closed the gap by about 75% so it’s much better.
Thank you again

you may get another turn out of it, nothing to lose by trying

I have the same problem. Can someone send a photo or describe where I find this grub screw?
