Anyone's Hardtop to window glass leak too?
« on: August 18, 2009, 09:07:00 AM »

I have a '91 XR2. When riding in the rain, the water comes dripping in right about where the fake vent window and top meet. Hopefully others understand my fake vent window description.

I would appreciate any suggestion as to how to stop the leak or sources to purchase the materials to fix the problem. Thank you in advance.

Remove your door panel, and notice the oval shaped piece of metal that has a bolt in each end (there are two, the one you want is under the vent window), those are your adjustment screws.  You can adjust the way it fits by turning those screws. I can try to take a picture tomorrow of the part I mean.

Mort-
I have not been able to shoot pictures yet, but this might help:

The front door glass can be adjusted to tilt inward or outward. Remove the door lower map pocket panel (three screws). This will expose an adjuster surrounded by a nut at each end of the door. Loosen the nut & turn the center adjuster (clockwise to tilt glass inward) toward top frame, (counter clockwise to tilt outward) away from the the soft top frame.

Russ:
Thank you for your response. I will try that this weekend. I guess, it will be an adjust, spray glass with water, check for leaks, readjust project?
