...any other suggestions for new hood seals aside from the standard bits of sponge which squirt water into my eye everytime I shut the door? Swiss cheese? Sky hooks? A sieve?

I read somewhere that you could use bicycle innertubes, cut & folded to produce the correct shape.

Sounds difficult to me though.

Or don't take it out in the rain.

Dico & Gary do not suffer from such a problem :-D

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The N/A-Team.

A bit tricky not to take it out in the rain when it's your only car - on the other hand, at least the weather has been sensational recently!

I see 2 cars on your drive :lol: , seriously, at the moment the options are to either try & source some new seals ( there are a few coming up on here just recently ), or try & repair with the sikaflex. Keep your eye out here http://www.lotuselancentral.com/forum/v ... hp?t=11436
