Andy,
Good luck, I gave up with the hardtop on my first 2+2 as the soft
top was more waterproof. One thing that I had success with was to glue
some clear plastic tube around the top corners sort of behind the seal,
this stops the seal being squashed completely and allows the water to
run through and down the A pillars.

Thanks Martin
I nipped down to the local scrapyard this aft and picked up some long
door seals to cut to size.
Ive made what I hope to be a good connection round the door and hard
top and put a bead of silicon across the roof meet point
Hopefully the rain will hold off long enough for it to dry and I can
put it to the test tomorrow

ISTR when Jago did a hard top for their jeep, that they
recommended waxing the body, and cleaning (with acetone or
similat) the hardtop. Then put a bead of silicone along the joint,
put the 2 together and wait 24hrs. When removed you have a perfect
seal on the hardtop! and nothing on the car body. Sounds like a
good move to me, but I don't know if it works. I'd certainly try
it myself if I had a need.

*Subject:* [Quantum Owners] Too much rain (hard top query)
I've got to the point where I have puddles in the front and
rear drivers side on the 2+2. I've checked the drain plugs in
the doors and think the soft top has pretty much given up
being weatherproof. It's a KAP one and it's probably as good
as ever, just the pure amount of rain we're having is
overwhelming it. There doesn't seem to be any let up in the
weather on the horizon, I don't have a garage and a tarp is
going to disappear down the street.
I have a hard top, it's supposedly the better of the two
options, so I fancy digging it out and fully weatherproofing
it. What's the best way to do this?
I seem to remember a previous 2+2 I had, the owner siliconed
the point where the hard top meets the roof line, which while
it was a bugger to get off, worked nicely. He also ran two
channels down the side of the hard top past the window frame
to catch water I presume and either send it over the front or
rear of the roof.
What else have people found works well for them? Have you
added extra seals or done away with them and also siliconed?
Thanks
Andy
