Hello everyone,
Last week i've placed the hardtop on my '93 R129 300SL and ever since that moment raindrops leak into the cabin during heavy rain. It seems that it comes from the corner of the A-pillar where it's main rubber meets the rubber of the hardtop. With the softtop on there were sometimes a few drops but never anything serious. There is no noise or extra wind coming so it seems like the hardtop is placed properly. The problem also only occurs on the driver's side (see image).
Is this a known problem? I'm thinking of removing the hardtop and just inspecting the rubbers. Maybe replacing the A-pillar rubber or simply applying some grease which could help keep the rubbers soft.
Other suggestions are very welcome...
Cheers
