Leaking Roadster - update


stanski

Recommended Posts

If you recall I have had a soggy roadster! :angry:

 

Well i eventually discovered the problem - the drivers side window was about 2mm short of where it should have been when the door is closed and it lifts up?

 

I found this by using the tried and tested technique of pouring water on the roof with a watering can and seeing what happened to it?

 

As you can see from the pic (sorry only had Paint to edit the pic on works pc!) the yellow down arrows show where it flows but the 2 points marked A is where the water gets between the glass and rubber seal - hence down the inside of the glass on top of the window switches seat base edge and down into the floor at lowest point! :dry:

 

After a steady rain shower overnight the bottom foot well is quite wet - I have had strategically placed kitech paper towels to confirm my theory and yes unfortunately I was right. So in for its first service at the dealers today and they have adjusted the glass now so it rises up a fraction higher - looks a much tigher seal now lets hope it stays dry!

 

Well done Doctor MartinMac you were right in your initial diagnosys.

 

So anyone else with a leaky Ragtop worth checking!! Bear in mind this car is 8 months old!! Nissan quality eh! :wacko:
