Yesterday we had a short time in the afternoon that was rain free, I happened to be home from work so I took the opportunity to put the hardtop on my Midget.
I removed the folding top completely and put the hard top on, bolted it down to the sides and latched it at the front.
So, overnight we had some more rain and when I went out this morning I found water on the drivers side seat. Not on the seat back, just the seat bottom. It was very wet.
The dash was dry, all around the seat seemed dry, just the seat bottom all wet.
I dried it off and drove to work in the rain, no water was coming in the car.
I just returned from lunch where I discovered the flooring is all wet.
The rubber seals come in contact all the way around, from the top of the windshield around the tops of the door glass and around the back of the tub.
There seems to be a couple places where water might be getting in, the corners where the top of the wing windows meet the hood seal seem to be the only possibility I can find.
Is there some rookie mistake I've made? This is my first roadster and my first hardtop that fits one. It doesn't seem like rocket science, but if someone has ideas on how to seal this up so water doesn't fill up the tub it would be really helpful. Thanks!
