These pics and info from when I did the hard top strip and rebuild seem to be missing.
Stripped down the hard top to see if I can understand how I might fix this leak. 1 screw is rusted up badly and didn't want to come out - pointed out. That's why the long black metal strip is still attached to the roof.
I found quite a bit of sticky gunk between the seal and the hardtop in the corners. Not sure how much of this is factory or been added later. I did find some metal tabs in the far corners of the seal which should clip into holes in the hardtop but these were not situated correctly so it is possible this is why my corners did not look right.
I'm wandering now if I should just reassemble it and try it on the car but I might get some replacement screws and bolts first. And as its a 2 man job to fit the roof I'll need an assistant anyway so that won't happen straight away. I'm obviously worried I've just destroyed the seal/s and made everything worse but you have to have a go right?
