Does anybody know if it is possible to adjust the alignment of the roof? I seem to have a gap on the passenger side between the roof and the window allowing the window to meet with the rubber sill, but on the drivers side the window touches the roof, holding it out slightly. It seems to cause a slight leak when parked on a hill.

Possibly, I have had a quick look, it seems to be sat into the metal frame at the front so presumed it to be the roof. I will try to have a proper look at the weekend, if I finish doing the wheel bearings on my mini in time that is.

I do understand what your saying, but the window is overlapping the roof by about 1-2mm which enough to hold it way from the sill. Doesn’t matter with the top down though

Not actually sure if it has a rubber thingy, I’ll be talking it out tonight so I’ll have a look there is a lot of wind noise at speed, I suppose if its coming up to far it may push its way out. If it were missing where would I get one? I’m used to my minis where I can just wait for a show and you're more or less guaranteed to find the part you want.

I look at the car briefly at the weekend, the rubber stop doesn’t seem to be there. The back of the window is actually hitting the folding hoop where the canvas goes over, I tried pushing the window forward but it didn’t seem loose, I’m not sure if it its the rubber stop causing it, I used so card just to make the difference and the back of the window still hit. Although the window sat properly on the upper sill. Any ideas?
