Dripping t bar roof on mr2 mk2.
Mr2 roof leak fix.

Start low soaking the area just above where the leak appears in the house.
Isolate areas when you run the hose.

Until it s fixed i m only putting the hood down when the roof is nice and warm which is a lot at the moment when i first got the car a couple of months ago i was putting the top down no matter what temperature rain being the only reason it would be up i think this is now the pain for all the pleasure of driving around on frosty mornings with the sun coming up on my way to work.
Before i bought an mr2 i viewed one that had a small 1 1 and a bit inch rip in the roof.

In the mr2 they drain out through the quarter glass vent located in that smaller glass behind the door glass on the rear qtr panel.
He recommended a place in birmingham i don t recall the name appologies but he said they specialised in that sort of repair and replacements also as toyota would charge a small fortune.
