While in the museum there was a thunderstorm outside. Thunderstorms were predicted for the evening, not for early afternoon.
Returning to the parking lot we noticed some water had entered the tonneau as the cover is less than perfect, but that was no surprise. We had a discussion about hood up or not when an other rain shower convinced us to have the hood up - fast!
Next 1½ hours was rainstorm, street flooding, lightning and thunder, broken trees and a less than watertight Morgan on the way home for the safe garage. Finally we made it and after changing our wet clothes we now enjoy a nice pot of tea.
Next week I have to apply a lot of neoprene to reduce water ingress when driving.

This picture gives a slight impression of the miserable weather condition on our way home.The wipers were trying to do their best...

P.s.: you will always need more dry towels than you have got in your car

I added some extra sealing to the front of my easy up hood recently. Assuming you have the same you will note the semi-circular cutouts on inside of front bar which it fits over top of screen, these to clear the four sunvisor mounts. I added strips of 3mm self adhesive neoprene in these cut-outs, trimmed to fit. I also tightened screen over-centre clamps. After loosening locknut they are quite stiff to turn, with minimum adjustment one full turn of course. Water tight in this area now when testing in rain/very heavy spray.
