Hi gcrhill and Bob's project!
Thanks for your tips, in fact I've gone out in the last few days and adjusted my guttering as you suggested, it was not even and nearly closed off on two of the four ends. When I did that I also found that the screws holding the guttering in place were a bit loose, in fact one even popped out when I was adjusting the gutter. When I reattached everything, I even injected a small amount of windshield sealant at the corners between the metal of the gutter and the targa vinyl to make sure and keep the water from intruding in to the cabin from here again! This is just one more of many steps to get closer to the goal of dry and tight inside. I haven't gone to the inspection of the targa grill water drain yet-I'm planning on a thorough inspection of that very soon though.
After getting tips from my old mechanic in California that the rear seal-targa side seals were not properly aligned I decided to be a bit more methodical and take some measurements to try and establish a baseline. I think everyone should consider doing these things to make sure everything is the same on both sides. It definitely will effect the final results.
In my on-going work on this I've made some photographic observations that I think are worth passing on.
I once again removed the rear seal and then tried to see where the side windows want to be with the help of some masking tape. a marker and a ruler.
From this I could see just how much I'd screwed things up by putting all the shims in the left door-4 mm further inboard than the right side. So, the shims had to come out. At least the window heights were essentially the same.
So, after reinstalling the rear seal so it sits inside the side seals I had the following results.
Much better interaction now between the windows and the seals.
Next step, is a readjustment of the side seals. This has been done and more pictures are coming soon to show the completed results-I've just got to ride out the rain storm thats happening as I write this chapter!
