Leaking at A-frame when rains
Has anyone figured out how to limit rain dripping in at the A-frame of the roof when it rains?

New gaskets & rubber rubber sealant treatment on them... It help the rubber safe soft & seal more tightly...

Re: Leaking at A-frame when rains
Also noticed I have water coming in on passenger side floor from front of car. Is there a seal that would need treatment below the windshield on the passenger side that would cause leaking?
I know it's not coming from the side like from the door as it is coming in from the front of the passenger floorboard.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

No problem. I would bet once you post a picture a few members on the site will jump in on giving advice...

Re: Leaking at A-frame when rains
Sorry it took so long to get some pictures up. I have added lines where the water appears when it rains and this is on the passenger side floor.
Please help if anyone can shed some light on why and where water is entering the car.

Re: Leaking at A-frame when rains
Could be coming in from the rear section of the targa top seal (horizontal seal) area and running down the seal then the A pillaron to the floor.

Re: Leaking at A-frame when rains
I see no wet areas or drips around the a-frame or window. Would the water be concealed going from the rear section to the floorboard? Are there any places toward the front of the car or around the passenger side mirror that might allow water to get in which would make it down to the floorboard?
Any common places to check for sealing to reseal?
Thanks again for help:)

Re: Leaking at A-frame when rains
water could run "inside" the seal, rare but it has happened.If not then get a small amount of water and poor it down the cowl vent below the windshield and see if it migrates down to the passenger compartment.Also check the overflow hose for the cowl at the left firewall area (engine compartment) above the steering shaft, its in plain view and make sure it not blocked.
