Wet Seatbelt??

velomaxx · 06-07-2015, 05:00 PM

The top has been replaced by the dealer and when it rains the seatbelt can get wet. I have sat in the car and had it hosed down and can't find how the water is getting in. It could be that the seal is not good enough right behind the door where the top meets the body.

Any ideas? Can the tension or seal pressure be adjusted in the area right behind the door where the top meets the body?

Anyone know a reputable shop who knows these tops in northern Virginia or the northeast/mid atlantic? The dealers do not know these cars.

I use Gummi Pflege Stift on my rubber seals. It fixed a wind noise. I got it thru Amazon.

Gummi Pflege is a special rubber treatment that conditions rubber weather seals on car doors, windows and trunks reducing squeaks, rattles, wind noise and potential water leaks. Gummi restores color to dried out rubber and keeps them elastic while protecting them against the damaging effects of heat, freezing temperatures and UV rays. It uses a petroleum free, water-based formula. Easy-to-use shoe polish type applicator makes application simple without the mess.

Thanks,

I'll try anything now. I have a pretty high tolerance for nuisance stuff with cars, but this thing is totally unusable. Might as well not have a top and have a waterproof interior.
