What’s the bobby with the original hood?
I believe there are cables in there somewhere and wonder if that’s why there’s a gap over passenger side window.
Also it falls short on the back of the door and water must pour in
It’s the original good with a glass window. I think you could upgrade them.
Is there a specialist that fits new jobbies and at what sort of cost?
Not sure who Kevin spoke to at AW but I wasn't told the glass wasn't an issue? If they won't do it I would go the factory, they should be able to do it no problem.
However if the roof is in good condition you can sort the shrinkage, to be honest a lot of new hoods fitted very badly so its not always shrinkage causing the issues! Its quite common for them to be a little short at the rear of the NS/OS windows. So when you sit in the car by your shoulder you have a gap basically.
Mine you could fit your fingers in, Shaun added some additional rubbers and tidied it up to make it seal much better and you can barely tell now. It will however always leak a bit, its the nature of the design unfortunately!
The later pram style roofs have different seals that do work better, but they have an inherent fault when folded down that the seals get damaged over a year or two and then need replacing.
