Hardtop leak

Post by Robbie.G »

I bought my hard top in December and had it fitted by the guy selling it, it was fine for a couple of weeks until I went to put some beer in the storage compartment behide the seats and found a fair bit of water back there but only on the drivers side.
I took the hardtop off dried everything (soft top, storage space and hardtop) and re-fitted the hardtop adjusting the clamps so they were tighter and making sure they were properly alighned.

It's been a week later and we've had 3 days of bad rain so I checked today to see if more water has leaked through.....and it has, same again only on the drivers side.

I Would really appreciate anyones input or idea on what could be causing the leak

Cheers.

I've checked the tops of the pipes both look clean and were only cleaned out a few weeks ago, but I guess it's worth having a look again👍

It seems to be leaking around the edge of the hardtop
