Hey guys,

I have a probably really frequently asked question but I need answer soon.

The weather has decide to add a new water feature in my car and my car seat is now beyond saturated. I have located the leak to be in the join of the targa and drivers window , but i have limited idea of how to stop said leak. I have been tarping it of late (when stationary) and such i have large quantities of rope markings but it still leaks when i drive. 

Any ideas tips or fixs please let me know!

Regards Fraser

Going through the same thing myself. Used to get a slight leak in heavy rain, but had a decent puddle the other day.

This is a pretty good thread to read. If its the window thats leaking, apparently it can be adjusted to apply more pressure to the seal.

i ended up replacing all the rubbers around my targa, fixed it for a while but it came back, wasn't as bad as it was before though.
 
You can get them from Two's R Us

I fixed mine by moisturising the seals with silicone gel once a week for a few weeks. That was good enough to get me through last winter. This winter I'm not so sure since the car's been off the road.
 
You can get the lubricant from pool supply stores, it's used for lubricating O-rings.

I use black windscreen silicone to build up between the targa seal and the rubber on the door frame. I must put some more on though, few drips here and there.

This could help to close the gap between the targa and the driver's window.

I used rubber rejuvenate which basically got rid of the leak but sometimes in torrential rain will still come through.

Here's a suggestion that makes some sense. If coax is too much, fig 8, would also work..

The co-ax trick is the best idea I have seen so far and I have tried them all. Great find!!
