Seems like my near perfect hood is leaking somewhere above the driver's side window. I'd previously found a big puddle in the rear footwell, which I've drained, but using the car yesterday in the rain, I realised it's still dripping in.
What's the best remedy??

Back behind an M20, but now I can hear it better.

Have you tried lubricating the seals with something like Vasaline,or petrolium jelly?

I haven't, no. Not sure what seals you mean, though I haven't looked at it in any detail. I'll certainly give that a go though. Thanks.daimlerman wrote:Have you tried lubricating the seals with something like Vasaline,or petrolium jelly?

Check the drain holes in the well under the horseshoe.
