Wet seat this morning :(

[simple101]

For the first time after a rainy night, I woke to find my drivers seat rather wet.

I want to get this sorted quickly.

Do you think replacing the rubber that sits on top of the window might help? or could there be another cause?

the roof itself is in very good condition and there are no obvious leaks in it.

Any ideas?

Welcome to my world

change the rubber seals as you've already stated and take it from there

For me, mine is a couple of nicks in the replacement roof...sadly leaks more than the last one

Is it for the MX-5 in your profile? If so mine also leaks, a combination of an old roof which has shrunk, only cure is a new roof which will be going on soon, and the rubbers above the winow which have become compressed - this can be solved by removing them and sliding some thin strips of rubber into the central channel which plumps them out a bit giving a better seal, there's a thread on some forum somewhere explaining how to do this, i'll see if i can find it!

first, pull off the rubber strips and loosen the ali bit that holds them, and move them as far to the outside as you can so they push against the glass more.

if that doesn't sort it, try stuffing them with some *soft* foam to make them a bit harder.

if that doesn't work you need a new roof

more immediate and cheaper solutions are to park facing the other way, and to make sure the doors are shut with the windows up, not to have to doors shut and then raise the windows.

Thanks alot for the help.

I see if i can fix it.

I rejuvenated my rubber seals with a liberal application of vaseline. Keep rubbing it on every day for about a week, and I find the seal between the two surfaces is much better now.
