Targa Leak

[ians13]

Hello all am new to the site this is my first supra and I must say it a nice car modded, am use to the light feel of a 240sx on boost but the supra is growing on me, I have always liked the way they looked but could never get my hands on one well long story short my dad gave me his extra car . Now down to why am posting

Yesterday it was raining hard and when driving home the targa top was leaking on the side’s front and back any one know how to fix this problem.

Before you shell out money for new seals try spraying the old ones down with some silicon spray. It softened my rubber right up and I never had a leak after that. SOGI has a couple methods to repair the leaky targa, you can see the links here http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/techtips.php?wcal4ulogin=4725a5a5e6464d3f2d9532198ae994b3

Although I've never had the problem I've heard it exists. I'm sure others here will chime in but assuming the seals are OK be sure the dirt that collects in the corners gets removed and the drain gutters on the outside aren't pinched where they come together. Also be sure the drains down both sides of the windshield molding are clear. Tighten the top down in the order the manual prescribes. Whenever you have the top off wipe the seals down before reinstalling it. A treatment of silicone or some other protectant helps keep them soft.
