The Vinyl roof is coming off !!!

Hi , we had some pretty heavy rain on sunday and i went out in the burb, i went around the first tight right hander and about a pint of water came out of the glove box ! I stopped and opened the lid and everything was swimming in there (think i saw a fish too !) so thats it, it's coming off , I'll take pics and post what i find (dreading it !)
Cheers
Wayne

Good luck with it all! With that much water coming in though, something is lurking under the vinyl. Take alot of pictures for us.

Re: The Vinyl roof is coming off !!!

the problem is probably in the cowl, not under the roof. VERY common.

Yes there is a problem with the cowl but there is water coming out of the top of the A pillars , not through the rubber but above , I'm well prepared as i build dragsters ,hot rods and customs for a living,
for anyone thats interested here's a link to a car i'm doing for a customer, http://www.rodsnsods.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5064
when it's finished a mould will be taken from it and a glass body will be made , it's going to be a Pro Modified drag car
Cheers
