Just wondering because I have a eclipse spyder and they have never been able to fix my leaky roof, which is one of the reasons why I'm selling it and geting a roadster.

 

The two times in 12 months that rain has actually fallen on my Roadster, it has not leaked...

 

Nice. My spyder leaks when I go through a car wash (touchless of course), or even when I was it with a garden hose


Anybody else?

 

I once had a leak but it was between the weather sealing and the window more than the top itself. Only happened the one time and never again.

 

I don't think any softop convertible is designed to go through a touchless carwash, note that those carwashes compensate no brushes with higher water pressure. You really shouldn't run your Z through those!

But you shouldn't have an issue with a garden hose. If your leaking its probably coming in around the door windows seals which can be adjusted. I adjusted mine because I was getting some squeek noises (refer to thread with "Roadster Rattles").

 

Rule #1....Never ever ever ever take a fine car like a 350Z through a automatic carwash

This is what will happen...

Rule #2 Follow rule #1

 

No leaks when washing and no leaks when the FL tropical down pours hit

 

LOL... nice picture. Thanks for the "rules."

 

We have a roof on our car ?!?!?

 

Extremely tight. No leaks whatsoever. Even in heavy, heavy downpours.

 

none here

 

That doesn't even sound like one of our issues.

 

It's not. I'm refering to my Eclipse Spyder.

 

None here, either. been through many storms and washed tons of times (of course) very tight roof.

 

The only time water has ever gotten in was when I was testing the seals. If you spray water at the window seal it can come in. But that would never happen in any type of driving situation. Also, if you're washing and spray water at the seal where the back of the top comes down on that little piece of tape it can come in. But this only happened with my sprayer on "jet" spray. This would never happen during any type of daily driving.

 

The key to keeping a convertible watertight is to keep the seals conditioned. When they start to dry out, they get hard, making it easier for it to warp, thus allowing water to get around the seal. If your seals are soft (well conditioned), and it leaks, it most likely is a minor adjustment you might need.
