My 348 Spider does not leak. If yours does, you can adjust the seals around the windows . | ||

Martin, you're driving a Ferrari, that isn't a bladder stain showing up on your pants! | ||

Just washed my 328 for about the first time (had it detailed on prior occasions by someone else) and the darn thing is drier inside than when I wash my Miata (even with the top up in the Miata, hehe). I consider myself lucky. | ||

When I look at my top it is the rubber between the top and the frame that is the reason for leaks. As these cars are hand made there will be slight variations. Your rubber likely fits just perfect. Most others do not. Count your blessings. I walk into places with a wet stain on the upper thigh, which suggests a weak bladder...  | ||

Damn Martin, that explains why I had 2 plug wires left over when I replaced them! My top is the factory top, sanded and painted to match the car. | ||

Jim, open the engine compartment, see if there really is a Ferrari engine in it, check your title if it says Kit Car. There must be a mistake. This can only be a Fiero if it does not leak. This is the easiest test to see if you have the real deal or the GM deal, if it leaks its real!  | ||

I bought a 355tb because my 348 leaked, both of them. When you drove the sypder and it rained, you could count on being showered. The 348ts was better, but around the windows, it leaked badly. My 355 doesn't leak. Art | ||

Lou, I'm sure if you search the archives, you are not the only 348 owner with leaking top issues. (Barring berlinetta owners, of course). | ||

Thanks for making my day, guys. My 348 roof leaks like a sieve. . . I'm the one who started the thread last week. Still would love any suggestions. Thanks for getting the system back up, Rob. We all missed it and appreciate your efforts! | ||

Jim, what is your top made from? It looks aluminum in the picture. BTW, three times in heavy rain, and no leaks for me, either. | ||

My roof doesn't leak either. I'm especially happy about that as I have a GTB. | ||

I remember a thread from this weekend discussing leaking roofs. I drove my car 75 miles in the rain on Sunday, and not a drop leaked in. Surprisingly, the car still looks clean 2 days later instead of trashed as I expected it to. |
