Leaking Targa
All the rain in the mid-Atlantic area this weekend highlighted my leaking Targa problem. I mean like a sieve - in the front, both sides over the vent windows, and right on top of the rear view - as well as the corners in the back. The targa is not original - I'd say less than 5 years old, with very good rubber. The car-side of the seals look ok - not great. Is there an easy fix here ? (besides keeping it in the garage, and/or a cover) If I do seal replacement, what are the chances that the problem goes away? It's under cover now, but if it ever stops raining, it's going to take forever to dry out.
Thanks Tim

I have a 73 911 targa with original seals. My top leaks a bit on the sides (drips) in a real heavy downpour. I suspect if the top was rebuilt and new seals put in I would not have a problem. Check out the top repair manual.
