The front of the Vert top has air blowing through the gap between top and windshield header.

The vert top has a header gasket on it though I don't think it's placed correctly. If air blow so freely through there rain will be a flood. I have a Vert Top Header Gasket and want it to go on correctly, So It Works.

Could a kind soul post a photo of the gasket at the front of the vert top, Plz??

TIA

I don't know if these will help, if not let me know and I can take better/diffrent pix.

Even properly installed with the flat metal piece, the ballon-style gasket does have tendency to leak. Sometimes a little, sometime a lot!

also there is a foam gasket under the chrome moldings at the top of the windshield, that decays and starts to leak in while driving.

you can get that foam gasket from any home supply stores, I replaced mine when I did the windshield and it helped with the leaking.

Thanks guys. I may have to get creative with the gasket, cos it leaks as is. A couple strips of clear tape across the upper windshield & top will keep the rain out, butt ain't purdy. Unlike some this Vert is a road car, and doesn't hide from the rain.

I appreciate the photos and tip.
