Does anyone else have problems with there Tusc being damp inside? Mine steams up really easily and feels damp on the carpets and roof lining, not to mention the moisture on rear window.

Know MR2's had problems with there Targa roofs and that there was a fix for it. Is there one for the Tusc or do I just have to live with it in this weather?

Yeah, they both work but not brilliantly. Usual thing, seems to clear the screen better on the passenger side.

Seems to be worse when I have washed it as well and I make sure I don't pour water over the roof. Think it may be coming in at the driver window somewhere.

it may leak from the top of the A-posts, rear screen, through holes from the engine bay, bottom of the door seals, any holes in the floor, and if you leave the roof off when it's raining smile

So assuming you get all leaks fixed then it should not be damp inside.

Top of A posts can be a pain to sort (best to get a dealer with experience of this to do it) but even when they are fixed to stop the rain getting in, they will probably still leak when you wash it and see it running down the inside of the door trim.

Had the roof off and the screen out the other day after washing her. Seems to have sorted it out! Was a reasonably warm day so left them off to try and dry the car out, also have a de-humidifier in it as well. Made sure the roof is back on properly as well so hopefully that's it sorted.

On a different note, with the roof off for the first time, got the chance to take her for a drive like that! Love the looks I got and loved the sound of it!

Can live with the dampness now, lol!
