When I first had my car the footwells were getting wet. Silicone sealer between the frame & floor has almost eliminated it & that was only under the seat & immediately in front of the seats not all the way to the front. I dont think much water gets in from above but I do drive with the half tonneau on most of the time. You do get plenty of dust but sealing behind the seats helps a lot. I think the cockpit is a low pressure area so you are unlikely to stop all dust.

Seems to be a Morgan tradition.
They all do that
(at least my 4/4 does it on the drivers side, but less dramatic than the M3W)

Great thread this!
For what it's worth, I think Draggin' has a fair point. If I was in his position, waiting with baited breath for something he has dreamed about for months, and invested a lot of his hard earned cash in, I would want to cover off all the possible problems which could mar his future ownership pleasure.
One day I will order my final Morgan. At present it is going to be a three wheeler, possibly an electric one, but I'll take a look at the one at TOTH this Saturday to help the decision process.
However, I do not expect it to be perfect. I expect it to give me problems, to be quirky, to be expensive to buy and to run, but in a world of blandness and standardisation, I know it will make me tremble with pleasure every time I look at it, and shiver with anticipation every time I start it up. I just wish I had not had a 40 year gap between my first 4/4 and the Roadster and Aero. Wasted years!
Keep the faith, Draggin'. banghead

Got 3,200 on my four month old M3W and she's a total freakin' joy. Best life decision since my divorce.
