Roof leaking

megls · 07-30-2011, 10:06 PM

I took my car, a new 2010, to the car wash today and it started to leak real badly, thought I left the window down bad. It only happened when the high pressure spray was hitting the driver side door where the first joint breaks the roof when it folds.

Since this is my first convertible ever I didn’t know if these roofs leak a little bit, I know it shouldn’t leak as much as it did. Anyway thought I'd ask as to how much if any (I would hope it's none) is normal for these things to leak. Passenger side was dry as a bone.

So far I love this thing, more then my 09 coupe and plan on taking it in to have it looked at, but since I'm a convertible virgin thought I would say hi and see what those who been round the block say!

I have a 2010 Coupe and when I pressure wash mine I get water in both windows.
I wouldn't worry about it unless it is leaking when a normal rain falls.

For all roadster owners who use a high pressure washer and didn't bother to RTFM. Go to page 7-2 and read carefully.
