Leak free roof

Postby DublinBlueElan » Thu 04.06.2026, 13:17

I may have done the impossible and implemented a leak proof roof.
I bought my elan last September and as I have no garage I need to keep it outdoors. I keep a cover on it in winter but it still managed to leak rain water. I removed the carpets to prevent standing water and put plastic bags on the seats to stop them getting soaked.
Earlier in the year I fit a set of Jamie's seals. One piece A pillar/window frame and one piece top window seals. I also sourced 3D printed falling pillar seals and did a bit of a homemade job on the lump at the top of the doors where it meets the bottom of the falling pillar.
I also installed drains to the sills to stop them holding water.

Anyway, with the recent good weather I have been leaving the cover off the car so I can use it more frequently.

This week in Dublin have had some really bad rain and to my shock, there is no water in the car.
