Hardtop window leaks

Post by nightshift »

Hey guys,

With all this rain I'm finding my MR2 is a bit leaky. I have both quarter windows leaking, the boot and then the driver's carpet is getting damp to top it off.
I took one quarter window off and resealed with generic silicone stuff, now it's much worse :oops: I've heard butyl tape works for resealing anyone know where I can get some?
Does anyone have experience with damp driver's side carpet and where it could be coming in.
Finally, the boot leak must be due to the rubber seal right? I can't see how else it could get in there.

Any tips or advice appreciated, thanks all. At least it's not a t-top... :lol:

I can't comment on a hard top, but the boot leak can be from the seal, or even the aerial hole or even the bolt holes for the wing caps or as in my case the bolts that hold the wing on.
