A question for DaveW
Hi Dave can you please tell me the size of the round neoprene you used in the easy up header rail ?
I got some 10mm but it looks to thick .

Hi Jimmy, it was 4mm diameter, almost like a pencil lead.

Hi Dave,
I'm also interested in this topic.
The header rail of my Plus 4 is not waterproof when it rains heavily (it is leaking in the region of the mounting points of the sun visor [which I dont have]).
Could you post a photo of your header rail with the applied neoprene?

Is there a preferred supplier for neoprene or is it simply a case of checking out Amazon or such like?

I'll see if I can dig out a photo but there is one in the book!
My usual supplier for profile is COH Baines.
Flat sheet from Nuttalls. Details for both in the appendix or the neoprene thread in my How To section.

Hi Dave, the photo I couldn‘t find in the book but an explanation where to apply the neoprene (2-3 mm round Neoprene under the outer lip of the header rail seal without glueing, optional under the inner lip as well). So no need for a photo anymore. Thanks a lot!

My car also leaks a lot! So I am quite interested in this topic! I made some 4mm neoprene pieces to the A pillar. I hope, this helps a little bit!
What i still don´t get (sorry for that), is how you apply this neoprene to the header rail. Do you use a 2 x 2mm self adhesive neoprene roll? I think it has to be glued in some way I think?
