Alright folks!

So the sun has shown a glimpse here and there and im looking to get my e30 cab out to play after 4 years chillin like a villain...

All is good to go to get the car on the road except the roof... from what I remember I need to 'tighten' it up to the windscreen frame as its gotten a little loose and when it rains it drips fast into the cabin. Can someone near Edinburgh help?

I am happy to pay your petrol and cash for your time plus ill feed ya a double cheesburger from the finest takeout in town!

we just apply silicone grease!

I dont think you can "tighten" the front seal, but they are not expesive to buy, and fairly easy to replace, try silicone grease first if that fails then replace.

I found that the roof was letting water in along the front edge. I was told to use windscreen sealer which never completely hardens to cover the gap. worked really well
