Hard top roof/windscreen rubber seal

[Alizak]

Anyone found a good roof seal for the gap between the windscreen and the roof? Checked the woolies site and spoken to them. They can't advise which is most appropriate. Getting ready for the bad wheather. Anyone?

Mine has a lip on the roof that slides onto the top of the windscreen. I had the same problem yesterday with the brutal sliding side windows that were made to let in rain, i had to stuff old rags into them to stop the rain aswell as have a heavy duty rain cover lol

Why not simply apply a thick bead of silicone to the mating surfaces.

The simplest and cheapest solution to your problem

Would like the seal not to be perm so in the good weather the roof can come off.

You can apply a heavy bead of silicone (?high modulus - the stuff that sets fairly hard rather than permanently gooey) to lip of hard top and leave it to dry forming your own gasket which then doesn't adhere to top of windscreen.
One of our hard tops has a piece of what appears to be door rubber trim stuck to the lip which when compressed keeps the water out.

Something which may do the job.

While i have the bodytub off the Geep chassis i have used some self adhesive flat neoprene strip on the top edge of the chassis. The purpose of this, in my case, was to stop any squeeks and rattles once reassembled. The strip is self adhesive on one side only. It is available in different widths and thicknesses. Where did i get it from? Most of the car trimmer stands at the kit shows sell it by the metre.

Oh, and because it is neoprene closed cell foam it doesn't take on water or perish easily.

Just a thought........
