Triumph Repair: window to soft top seal, wet country, rain storm

Question
Jim

Thanks for the prompt response.  I agree that a wet country has done an amazingly bad job of sealing their cars (we have a Mini too) and Lucas is of course responsible for many issues with electrics.  I had actually figured you would tell me to drive the car with the roof off all the time and avoid rain!  As you suggest, I can move to LBC!

Again thanks!!!

Answer
John,

My first Spitfire had been hit with a boat trailer, bending the soft top frame.  With the window full up there was a 2" gap in the middle of the drivers window to soft top.  Not fun in the winter.

And yes, my '63 Cooper is also quite damp inside during a rain storm.  I think my autocrosser with no windshield/top stays drier.


Cheers,

Jim
