    the roof leaks due to worn roof seals, does anyone know the best place to get these from. or is there other rubber seals that would do the job.

    If it leaks on the windows adjust the doors or windows. And if it leaks on the chassis sealing i put additional material on the chassis so that the rubber seal when put back onto it is pushed more onto the roof.

    Keep a small towel in the car for rainy day driving. Let any passenger know that leaking roofs are part of the Italian charm. I would bet the seals are pretty pricey. Anyone know the cost of replacements?

    that's because you haven't gone fast enough, let is set out long enough or hit
    a bump.

    I remember passing a towel back and forth to the passenger for her to dry her
    legs off from the water leaking through the seal.

    I would bet the front seals are $1000.00

    The 348 had many Recalls and Service Campaigns. There is one S.C. pertaining to door striker pins and one for targa top, but I don't remember the details on them. Misalignment of the doors could contribute to the leaks.

    Some people put vaseline on the seals to stop the leaks. You can do this in stages to find the area where the seal is not tight, or simply cover all of the seals.

    Other people just use a black or clear silicone sealer from a tube to better fill in certain areas.
