Just wondered if anyone could suggest a means of making a tighter fit between the back of the side window and the rubber seal on the rear hood section, as mine hardly makes contact at the passenger side.

I think you have to adjust the window frame which is spaced out front and back using washers. Access is by removing the inner door skin (not easy).

Is the door sitting flush with the rear wing ir is it proud a bit? You can adjust the striker on the door to move the door in/out with subsequent window to seal clearance changes.

I had the same problem and achieved a partial success by pushing washer tubing up inside the rubber seal only costs a few pence!! Worth a try

Is the rear hoop central on the body? There are packing washers on both sides that determines its position side to side, there may be scope to move it sideways to even up the gaps?
