Hey all. I'm having a minor issue I'd like to resolve myself, as I really don't think it should need a dealer resolution. My MIC 2 door top is leaking at the seal between the front and rear panels. By leak, it isn't even dripping. It's just getting damp in a few spots. You can see from the watermarks here what is happening.

I'm several areas along this seam. I just think the fitment is just a hair off. Any way to cinch the front down a bit tighter or some kind of adjustment I can make at home?

Similar issue here with my 2dr MIC 2.0 between the front panels / rear top seal. Haven't seen active leaking, just dampness. I noticed the dampness when I picked it up new from the dealer two weeks back. I have not taken it out in rain or washed it to see how it returns, yet. I will be doing that shortly.

First thing I would try is silicone spray “lube”. The seals are particularly sensitive to dirt and debris in my experience.

I'd "lube" up all that rubber and see if it seals better. I use Aerospace 303 on my MR2's T top seals just to keep them conditioned. I've noticed it seals better.
