yeah, I've got another problem with my car.. but it's just a little one. My passenger door has a little leak. Its where the roof meets the car in the front. (i can't describe it better than that) Does anyone know what I can do about this?

Thanks!

be glad you dont live in seattle!!

 

I had this problem when i first bought my sol. I followed the directions on teamdelsol.com to tighten the roof. It worked for a while, then it developed a rattle somewhere in the door and the top leaks every now and then. So to make a short story long, I think it is just something we have to live with as sol owners.

 

time for new seals... Get em from honda, and a tube of caulk from the auto parts store, and put them in yourself. It's EASY!!! Just takes some time.

 

how much are the seals?

 

since owning two sols now i have learned to live with the leak factor im gonna reseal the whole car afta i do my gsr swap but yes both of mine have leaked passenger side as well...very common original owners never took care of the seals.

 

at least you did not get a wrecked one i rebuilt a totalled out dohc 94 leaks like hell.....stupid frame damage

 

I have a 93. Hasn't leaked once. =)

Course... I take care of seal maintainance.

 

I read somwhere that pre 1995 Del Sols may benefit from installing the post-1995 model seals. Apparently these are larger/redisgned to address this problem of leaks.

I think the seals are about $50.00 a piece in the US. I personally use red rubber grease - a red pure silicon grease which is extremely thick and water resistant, seals and reduces those silly squeaks afforded by the overly flexible chassis.

Warmest Regards

 

thank you! i'm sure i'll get around to doing something about it sometime.. but it doesn't rain much around here.. and the leak is on the passenger side.. so i dont really notice anyway. but thanks
