1st time out in the rain i have discovered the roof is leaking at the drivers side sny help on adjusting the tension of the locking bars at the back as the drivers side is not as stiff(ohhh errr) as the passengers.

When correctly adjusted to OEM specification it should leak equally on both sides

This is perfectly acceptable. Any dealer will tell you 'they all do that sir'.
It is when the leak is over the screen & the water falls on the zip of your trousers that it can be embarassing. Ever wondered why no Wedge owner ever wears white trousers in the winter?

If you slacken off the bolts on that side you might be able to use any play to tighten up the locking bar a bit.

If there isn't any play then you will have to file out the hole to move the strut up. Have you identified where the water is getting in? I wouldn't mess with this until I was sure it's the cause of the problem.
