Well, John, I usually agree with your advice, and I enjoy your website...but on
this, I have to disagree....your solution is NOT the best. I have a BN6 with
original side curtains and top, and with new seals, It leaks only slightly in a
hard rain. your solution is less than optimum because it limits the enjoyment
of the Healey to fair weather. I actually enjoy an occasional ride in the rain
in the Healey. Its kinda cozy.
My Healey is actually a four season car except I avoid snow and salt.

way to install wipers on my glasses.

As Alan pointed out the wiper system does make some noise but, if you have
the time and patience it would probably be worth your while taking the wiper
motor out and lubricating the bearings and worm gear. I had one seize on me
at a most inconvenient time as a result of the lubricant having caked up.
Of course it will only fail while it is raining!!!
