Grant,
I'm in San Francisco - rain is not uncommon here, and neither are
leaks in the 6. I have found the following:
- The Top seal over the window is not always water tight; I get
drops coming in through the visor mounts
- The door seals around the A pillar are both worn (squashed) and
incomplete. They should run down the A to the bottom of the door;
water runs off the top and down and in.
- Window seals were old and brittle; rain runs down the window,
isn't deflected, and into the door. sometimes down the trim side,
and into the car.
- there's one other - brain freeze - can't think of it... will post
again when I do..
oh, solution to all? new seals, additional seals, and more seals
still. Leakage is inherent in the design, after all "it;s
British!"

: Dear List Members,
:
: Last week my '69 TR6 got stuck in a very big rainstorm. This was
the
: most intense rain I've been in with the car (I live in San Diego
so we
: don't get that much) and I discovered that both of the floor mats
(or
: the soundproofing material underneath the floor mats and
carpeting)
: were/was soaked. I can't see any obvious points at which the water
: could have gotten in but it clearly came from someplace. Has
anyone had
: experience with this and can you suggest any places to look, and
: potentially seal up?

: Thanks,
