Air and exhaust pouring in (1 Viewer)

[FJforty]

While probing around to find the freezing wind I found a constant stream on the inner roof. Tried a bunch of different tapes and found the aluminum adhesive tape is the ticket, went all the way across. This not only cut off the wind blowing in, it stopped the smell of exhaust I was getting, I must have an exhaust manifold leak.

I used white latex caulk in a squeeze tube on the outside of that piece...after having bits of SNOW sneak thru the gap on mine in the 45, hitting me in the forehead!

Ha ha, mine does that too. Caulking works great but is a PITA when you want to take the top off for the summer. I'll have to try that aluminum tape.

I do not see where the aluminum tape is secured to the windshield frame.

ahh I see now it's at the top of the spacer. Mine doesn't leak there. I don't have the rubber gasket and that's where mine leaks. Guess I need to pay better attention.

It's where the two fiberglass pieces meet. For those that have a headliner, you might not catch the infiltration.

Next time you have the top off, fill it in with some 3m seam sealer.
