mk2 glass window seal leaking

[james]

Me too. Its where the frame folds in the middle. I see there is a bit of rust on mine. No idea how to solve it though but then again have not looked at it too hard

Common problem ,may need new seals but I have adjusted the restrictors ,that let the closed height of the window in the door itself close high/low etc.There are 2 x 10mm nuts inside the door trim panel itself at the top of the metalwork where it meets the glass .You can loosen these and pull the glass up slighty,but not too much,and tighten the nuts while glass is held up.Might help but don't bang the door too hard till you are happy with the position of the glass!!!!

Kinda, more like adjusting the restrictor/limiter. When you see them you'll know what I mean

leaky window seals are usually caused by 2 things

your seals just need revitalised - try smearing a light coat of vaseline over them for 24 hours then wipe it off- this causes them to swell and make a better seal.

the other problem you might be having is that your softtop has shrunk , exposing the metal fitting that the seal fit into , and what happens is , water soaks in from behind the seal , fills , the seal then drips down on you. - the cure here is a new softtop or doing some sort of bodge with copious ammounts of silicone

the window is not being pulled tight and it has silicone on the inside
