Hi,
My roof is leaking on the drivers side and I'm fairly sure (after reading all the forum articles) that I need to take it to a dealer to get it repaired.
I have 2 questions:
1. Do I need to take it to an approved Peugeot dealer or can an independant do it?
2. Roughly how much should I be paying for the repair as I don't want to get ripped off (single female)?
Thanks.

Well, my mystery leak has now been solved. If you have a look at the seal of the small panel window at the time also start putting the roof in half the folding motion to be put as convertible. You may find that the inside seal has folded in on it's self, if so just need a good pull back into position and get it sorted properly during the summer. GOOD LUCK!!!!:thumbs:

Hi,
I have noted that the seal joint above the quarter window and passenger window is not tugged in well but folded (very different from driveres side). I suppose that it resulting in the leak on passenger rear in my car.
I think that it will need readjustment.

But the question is how to i repair it. Can I stop the roof from folding midway- give it a good tug or what?????

Please adv- forecast isnt very good for next few days so need it sorting out soonish

thanks

Be very careful if you stop the roof in mid-cycle! Do not turn off the ignition, only leave it stopped for a minute or so, and make sure you press the roof switch in the same direction as it was going when you stopped it. See page 4 of your manual. If in doubt don't, get your Peugeot agent to see to it.
