been a busy boy this weekend, i removed the front bumper from the brg car, which was fun.... one of the captivated nuts managed to become uncaptivated so had to do some things im not proud of.... i also attempted to refit the hardtop as its settled since fitting, i added corner trim to the windscreen, and tried to seal up any gaps around the windscreen. fingers crossed, after seeing what its like in there id realy like to remove the windscreen realy tidy up the area and replace all the trim and seals, i also need to get my windows sorted as they need adjusting and are rattley. Still not got the bearing sorted but im going to remove the one from the brg and hopefully goto a bearing place and get it matched, will keep all posted on progress with that one. i got a breaker bar so i could attempt the hub nuts again but someone else already tried so im thinking of cutting the nuts off to save the hub (incase the thread gets damaged).
ive got one issue that perhaps some one could shed some tight onto, the hardtop is ace and im sure once i get the windows propery sorted it will be fine, but there is a fair amount of wind noise above 60mph coming from behind me, im guessing the rain sills are causing high pressure next to the window seal and i got to wondering if it would be possible to improving wind flow around the window area, on through is to add a curved rubber seal bonded in behind the A post seal carrier, but id guess that will only inprove it at the front (which isnt too bad anyway, the other idea was to bond something to the rain gutter that curved toward the glass something like a j shape it would have to be rubber so the doors could be shut with the window up, any ideas? also how hard would it be to make some sort of frame for the doors, it seems a week spot in the design an would solve a few issues.
