as topic says i got rain coming in and landing on my arm / shoulder i can see where it is coming in the hinged seal on the roof that seals on to the window glass, there is a slight gap it looks like its sealed but i can see a chink of light coming through any suggestions for the fix... maybe slide up the rubber ?
passenger side is all ok... that seems to be firm against each other... the angled type seal....
grrrrr rain on shoulder...!!!

Re: grrrrr rain on shoulder...!!!
all nice and dry today, had to use the car, even in this weather, and not a drop of water on my shoulder..
I did notice a few spots, around the gear knob and, centre console... but realised that my daughter was doing some pretty heavy sneezing grrr hay fever... so give her a row for spreading germs in my car... and a few times i got pretty soaked as i left the wipers on, with the door open, and forgot when i got in the car and turned the ignition on,, grrrrr did that a few times i have to remember not to do that now....

Re: grrrrr rain on shoulder...!!!
When you are removing rubber seals there are adjustment screws underneath (T15 if I remember right). Not many z3 owners had noticed them and try to cure things with gummi pfledge instead...
