    I ve been driving the 348TS for some weeks now
    Because the weather is very bad lately I noticed the roof was leaking
    The rubbers seem OK
    I adjusted the latches
    Even taped the front and rear gap
    Keeps leaking
    Did a search here but did not find a lot

    Somebody has some experience in this area??

    Hi I live in the same country, not quiet lucky at the moment weatherwise indeed;
    Also drives the TS, not leaking, so cant really help but heard quiet a few times that rubber seals were probably the cause of these leaks.
    I try as much as possible not to drive while raining. only sunny and dry roads will do.
    What part of the country are you from?

    I live in Singapore. It rains quite often. And sometimes when it pours, it really pours. I have a 348 TS but it does not leak - not even in the middle of the heaviest tropical downpours. I do remember my mechanic saying, however, that the seals on my targa top has been "upgraded" to the 355 seals. I am not sure what that means but I hope this will enable you to look further into this issue. Good luck!

    Hi CMNHO,

    Sorry for bringing up an old thread but I live in Singapore as well and was looking at a used Ferrari 348TS for sale. There were some concerns with the car and in particular, someone I was talking to at the mechanic's shop told me that 348TS' were notorious for their water leaks. I was just wondering if you were able to clarify which seals were installed and if you were able to provide some advice on a purchase/running of one in Singapore.

    Best Regards,

    Kristafury

    Hi Ferrarium!

    Thanks for the quick reply, I myself have had a look at the various threads but it is just that there are about 5 348's in Singapore (close to the equator so summer all year round, very humid and known for torrential rain) so when I read about CMNHO having a 348TS that was was able to withstand Singapore's weather I was wondering what kind of set-up he had with his car and I was just having a shot in the dark in contacting him as he doesn't seem to be online that frequently but having a local in the same situation would be much more convenient. :)
