Dino 246 GTS - Rain

Hi,

2 topics in one thread:

1 - I have the feeling that some rubber seals are missing on my Dino 246 GTS. When it rains, I get some water inside, coming from the junction between the targa roof and the vent window (on both sides - see picture enclosed). This has never been a real pb so far as I am using the car during sunny days. But just in case ...

Can someone post some pictures on how the rubber seals should be on a real waterproof Dino ?

2 - The wiper arms and blades are painted black on my GTS. Is this the original color ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Perhaps the seal on your targa roof section need replaced? http://www.dinoparts.de/EN/ferrari-246-gt-gts/body-fittings/glasses-seals/door-glass/targa-roof-seals-gtschassis-nr-02132-08518.html

The wiper arms and wiper blades on my 1972 GT are also black and most other Dinos I've seen have been the same. The picture in my owners manual also shows these parts in black so it looks like your car is correct.

 

Correct all M-serie and E-serie Dinos had original black wiper arms and blades.

Thanks Isuk.

The seals are almost brand new, replaced last year only (coming from dinoparts.de).

But there is still a gap between the roof and the vent window.

This is why I am asking if someone could post some pictures, showing in details how the seals should be (with the roof and without the roof), so that I can compare with my own car.

Thanks.

Yves.

 

I found a fairly good pic of a GTS with the roof off for you to conmpare with your car.

Nice picture, but wrong seals. Has any one got a more detailed picture of the actual targa top seals, as I too need the correct configuration - thanks.

 

I'm getting ready to repaint my top and need new seals myself. Here's a shot of my worn seal.

Have you checked to see your drain holes are clear? Use a blowgun but don't blow too hard or you might blow the tube off the drain hole fitting and have to remove the interior windshield trim to put it back on.

 

That's a useful tip-many thanks, In 35 years I'd never noticed them.
