P38A Sprung a leak when in car wash!

@Dopey uses the steal misses pegs method and I can also attest to their usefulness

Mine were crap, but they were plastic, if yours were wooden ones they might well grip better ...

They are giant pegs not like clothes pegs. Bought them after I saw Dopey use clothes pegs to get his cam gasket on is a nightmare job

That strip pops out but doubt it is leaking as there is no hole underneath, unless it has rotted through. Someone did have a pinhole in a weld that was leaking. I'd start by the windscreen surround.

interesting... how would it get in from the top or the windscreen?

There’s a bit of trim can lift. Even seen few on here didn’t know it was missing.

I managed on my own. Lie on your back and hold it up with your (clean) feet then you hands are free to fit it.

Presumably that's to refit the newly covered headliner back to the car? - much the same as I did mine
You weren't sticking the new material on with the liner in the car surely?

What liner?
I’d stuck it back with numerous types of glue (best of which was actually a Wilkis cheapy spray glue) while in situ. No good has to come out.
In end I copied kev12 just cleaned the board up painted it and put it back. cost £zero guaranteed to not sag for life.
Data used those button things like you get on a posh sofa looks really nice.
Whichever way you choose it makes huge difference to the overall feel and experience of the vehicle. Is hard to justify the amount of years I had it flapping about

Do you have what looks to be condensation dripping from the sunroof ?

Can rule that out then!

Has it had a windscreen replacement recently?

not in last 5 years or so..

I'm going to see if I can take the roof/window trim off and take a look

I used the Martrim kit with a thick pair of walking socks on my hands to smooth it down. An easy afternoon.

just an update...

it is coming from the roof rail over the drivers side where it has slightly lifted and running towards the front of the car.

Any good sealant recommended?
