hey guys when it rains and im doing around 70km plus, im getting water leaking at the top left and right corners of the windscreen in line with the press studs on the fron of windscreen

i can see that its water being forced in at higher speeds does anyone else get this?

my soft top is a Aussie Top and is new

its nothing major but having water drip on your arm is bloody annoying

There is a gap in everv softtop's roof in the top corner where you described, maybe try stuffing some rag in there.

The drips on your arm will be hardly noticeable if you remove the top completely.

if there's a gap, you could try using a bit of hard foam or padding in there, double sided tape to hold it to the soft top, so it's all neat and stays with the soft top when you take it off.

mine use 2 get pushed in under the front window on to passenger floor, my current sierra softie comes in somewhere and drips out the bottom of the dash above the accelerator pedal, and my vitara, rain and wind blows in if i get a strong side wind, it lifts the top up and wets ur hair :-)


but in saying that, i have had hart top cars that leaked just as much, like always having a swimming pool behind the driver in my exa turbo. and seeing the ground, and getting wet feet in my mini..... gees i loved my mini..

Very true. You will be dry! Serious! Got stuck on the f3 doin 100km/h with the top off. All that was making us wet was the spray from behind!

Trust me, its a weird feeling..
