Hi

Can anyone advise?

I have a 318i 1992 convertible. When I bought it in 2002, it had it's original roof on it and leaked quite badly in heavy rain. I bought a new sort top for it 2 years ago and that stopped the leaks to a large extent, however the rubber seals on the passenger side of the car are part of the frame and still leak slightly, which is obviously embarassing when having to make excuses not to ferry passengers on rainy days.

Is this problem easily resolved?

Are there any recommended companies who can fix it? - my local garages don't seem up for it.

Is it so difficult to find hadtops and if I did, are they completely watertight?

Thanks

Hi mate
first of all welcome aboard,

i had this leak problem with my cab, so i went to the dealers and bought new roof rubber approx Ԛ£80.00 and door rubbers approx Ԛ£40.00 each this looks to have done the trick so far.
