TECH Q: Do Caterhams' roofs leak??
Discussion
The temptation to use 'bears' and 'woods' is immense! The weak spot on mine was the area between the roof and the top of the door, with rain being forced through the gap, though this was more annoying than saturating.
You must be a double-hard bastard to contemplate using a 7 all year round. In Scotland too! Used mine daily for a few months over Spring & Summer, enough to convince me I wasn't hard enough for this. Roof up in the pissing rain with those joke wipers is not a great place to be IMO. Many times I wondered whether it wasn't better to throw the roof away and buy biking gear.

Go quick enough and you don't need the roof.
But when you stop at the traffic lights and the bloke in the Transit next to you looks down to see you sitting in a "Bucket" seat...
Roof pretty well watertight on my old 7, except that top corner of the windscreen area as prev mentioned
prob is, it's like sitting in a coffin, looking out of a letter box and all the noise seems to be kept inside the cockpit. bit of a pain but pleasant in a masochistic sort of a way.
