Hi all
Just a few pics of a leak i had back in the summer 2012
Finally got a pb account and thought it would be a good thing to share case you ever have the same problem :thumbup:

Entry point

Found that the foam seal had now started to become a sponge !!!
Best thing to do was remove all trace of it

The one I viewed recently had a leak. I`m guessing T tops are prone to this?

Hi bigkieko :thumbup:
I posted up this repair for all to see case anyone else needed to do the same but was unsure how to go about it
I guess they could be prone to this due to the age of the 4th gens now but all it means if like mine the foam seal looses its waterproofing goes hard and then acts like a sponge
Good thing is its a real easy fix 15mins max

Cheers
Stu

I´ve not had a car with T tops, sunroofs yes, don´t like them either.
I bought an Opel Monza brand new, sunroof leaked from day one.

T tops do take a big lump of rigidity out of the roof and I think this leads to flexing which in turn
creates open seams leading to leaks.
