Re: [Quantum Owners] Too much rain (hard top query)

Andy,
 No inside it sits behind the balloon on the rubber seal, if you 
look what happens to it, it gets squashed as it goes around the corner 
and allows water that gets behind the header rail to come over the top 
of the seal.

I nipped down to the local scrapyard this aft and picked up
some long door seals to cut to size.

Ive made what I hope to be a good connection round the door
and hard top and put a bead of silicon across the roof meet point

Hopefully the rain will hold off long enough for it to dry and
I can put it to the test tomorrow

I've got to the point where I have puddles in the
front and rear drivers side on the 2+2. I've checked
the drain plugs in the doors and think the soft top
has pretty much given up being weatherproof. It's a
KAP one and it's probably as good as ever, just the
pure amount of rain we're having is overwhelming it.
There doesn't seem to be any let up in the weather on
the horizon, I don't have a garage and a tarp is going
to disappear down the street.

I have a hard top, it's supposedly the better of the
two options, so I fancy digging it out and fully
weatherproofing it. What's the best way to do this?

I seem to remember a previous 2+2 I had, the owner
siliconed the point where the hard top meets the roof
line, which while it was a bugger to get off, worked
nicely. He also ran two channels down the side of the
hard top past the window frame to catch water I
presume and either send it over the front or rear of
the roof.

What else have people found works well for them? Have
you added extra seals or done away with them and also
siliconed?

Thanks

Re: [Quantum Owners] Too much rain (hard top query)

2014-02-15 Thread Russell Willcox

Andy,
Good luck, I gave up with the hardtop on my first 2+2 as the soft 
top was more waterproof. One thing that I had success with was to glue 
some clear plastic tube around the top corners sort of behind the seal, 
this stops the seal being squashed completely and allows the water to 
run through and down the A pillars.

ISTR when Jago did a hard top for their jeep, that they recommended
waxing the body, and cleaning (with acetone or similat) the hardtop.
Then put a bead of silicone along the joint, put the 2 together and
wait 24hrs. When removed you have a perfect seal on the hardtop! and
nothing on the car body. Sounds like a good move to me, but I don't
know if it works. I'd certainly try it myself if I had a need.

  Subject: [Quantum Owners] Too much rain (hard top query)


I've got to the point where I have puddles in the front and rear
drivers side on the 2+2. I've checked the drain plugs in the doors and
think the soft top has pretty much given up being weatherproof. It's a
KAP one and it's probably as good as ever, just the pure amount of rain
we're having is overwhelming it. There doesn't seem to be any let up in
the weather on the horizon, I don't have a garage and a tarp is going
to disappear down the street. 


I have a hard top, it's supposedly the better of the two options, so I
fancy digging it out and fully weatherproofing it. What's the best way
to do this? 


I seem to remember a previous 2+2 I had, the owner siliconed the point
where the hard top meets the roof line, which while it was a bugger to
get off, worked nicely. He also ran two channels down the side of the
hard top past the window frame to catch water I presume and either send
it over the front or rear of the roof. 


What else have people found works well for them? Have you added extra
seals or done away with them and also siliconed? 


  Thanks






  Andy
