I won't be rushing to put a deposit on an Aero until I know it's water tight.





I have yet to own a ragtop that is 100% watertight - certainly my wife's current Mercedes made Smart roadster is far from watertight so what chance have Morgan?. Nearest I have got was the Lotus.


Audi TT roadster , Jag XK, Boxster, Mini Convertible etc and those are the ones I have personal experience of and were all watertight, it can be done if it's high enough up the priority list. But why bother if you can sell all you make even with leaks.
