We applied factor 50 sun milk and drove some beautiful B and C-roads, had an excellent lunch and visited the Danube exhibition at the Schallaburg museum. 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.

Richard, thank you for your advice, but I have got the classic 9 stud version.
I know where the water comes in, all I have to do is sealing the front area. I just have to DO it...
Nevertheless the rain was much worse than average. Here some pictures of the area. Thank god we had left just in time before it reached those levels. (pics are from news reports)

Agreed Graham. I need to get back to the west coast to complete the NCR500. We made it as far as Tongue up the east coast and Ullapool up the west last year.

It makes the downpour we had yesterday on the way home look like drizzle! I hope there wasn't any serious damage done Hannes.

Some pics that didn't make the first cut, specially for you Graham, some for beach,Caterham, tractor and garden lovers as well.

Not from today but from last year.
Corona made it impossible to get there this year.
