Under the rain. Expectations vs reality
Not too much to be added.

A WA owner found it was the rubber seal around the frames and the way it was fitted in the "corners". Seeming that was an easy fix...

As soon as it stops raining I'll check it. Thanks for the hint!

If you PM MadMax I am sure he can fill in the blanks.

Ale, is the boot leaking or the targa roof?
If it is the roof, I seem to remember Andy or Brian mentioning that there was a technique to putting the panels in and if it wasn't followed, there were leaks.

It is the boot.
Or better it is even the roof, but there are just a few drops, so I am not worried at all.
Biggest leaks are in the boot. I'd say from the farest part of the boot (next to the end of the car).
Since the bottom of the boot is not flat, then the water "moves" to the part next to the gas tank.

Assuming the seal is not damaged, it should be relatively easy to adjust the boot lid to get a good seal. If you put some silicon grease on the under side of the boot lid where the seal fits, then close the lid you should be able to see where the grease has transferred to the seal or not. This should give you a guide as to where adjustment is needed.

Thanks!
I'll give a try as well.
My only doubt is that, since to close it you have to push it harder and then the lid goes back to position, probably you will "misrepresent" it.
