Can anyone shed any light on an issue that I seam to have?
I have noticed when the car is out in the rain, as the water droplets run down the rear window towards the rubber seal that sits between the underside of the leading edge of the boot lid and the roof fabric, instead of the water running along the seal towards the gaps/drain tubes positioned behind the B post, the water seems to seep away between the roof fabric and the rubber seal.
Now I assume the seal is bonded in some way to the roof fabric so that the water is guided towards the gaps/drain tubes but this appears to have failed on mine as the water seeps through behind the seal to where?
I have noticed when I have taken my MG's to car shows I have seen a number of early Boxster's that may have had the same issue as I have seen very crudely applied mastic to the roof fabric/rubber seal interface.
My 981 is now 8 years old and does spend most of its non-driving time in the garage out of the weather but am concerned when it is out in the wet, where is this water going to that seeps past the seal and is there a more professional way to fix it than clag loads of sealant along the joint.
Suspect a new roof would cure it but am sure that will be expensive.
