hey guys, uh, i don't know how to put this but after a nice Alabama overnight terrential I went to crank my car and found a nice pool in my driver's side floor board. Since I've had leaky occasions when it rains but I'm positive that the Targa *sp check* top leaks (no brainer), so I was wonderin if anybody knew of a cheap fix or the cheapest way to get it fix. Any help is appreciated.

go to autozone and buy a sealant, either that or silicone that bitch

yeah just go to autozone or advanced autoparts or something like that and get window gasket sealant. that will seal the bitch up!

I was hoping not to do that, because I like to take the top off when weather permits. Any other options??

welcome to the world of owning a del sol

haha yeah. mine would be so damn weird. if it was pouring down it wouldnt leak al the time.... but it would always leak when it was just sprinkling...

but hey if you really want to... i'm sure Honda could sell you the weatherstripping.. i think its like 550 for the set.

Yeah, it leaks consistently when it's pouring and I'm riding down the road. Thank God it doesn't leak in my seat though. I just noticed toady that it leaks right above the seat belt pillar (<---if thats what you call it?)...Oh happy days
