i just got an NX2k... i think the seal on my drivers door by the roof may be cracked.... ripped... or... yeah.

any recomendations on repairing replacing the leaking rubber...

( i hope thats all it is)

ok, hey mate, i currently drive the second nx2000 i have owned and you have nothing to worry about. it seems this is normal for the cars, both of mine had the same problem, i thought somehting was wrong but i had it checked out and it is just the way they are made....i know its unfortunate, i think it is just the way the channels in the rubber work.,....if you still think there is a prob get it checked out, but i am telling you its normal....i had a t-shirt over my right arm (i am from aus, right hand drive) one day cos it wouldnt stop dripping on my arm, but it has been raining heavely here for a couple of days now and it has only dripped a couple of times, personally unless it is pouring in i wouldnt worry too much....anyway, hope this helps u....later

someone recomended sylicon, which seems reasonable, i think i might try that

mine leaks to. worse since I got the car painted (I think removing the rubber made it line up worse now). It does nto leak a whole ton except when I am washing the car. The pressure forces more water in. I bet getting replacement rubber would cost a ton. I never bothered to look into it.

Mine used to leak as well. I also had air coming in and you could hear it quite loudly on the highway.

There is a small metal ledge under the rubber. If while sitting inside the vehicle you can squeeze the rubber, sorta pinch it together you will feel it. I tucked the edge of the rubber under this ledge, and it seems to make a better seal now by causiing the rubber to push out and expand.

I havn't noticed any leaking or wind coming in as a result.

Try it yourself and see if it works.

Try cleaning the rubber off really well with some cleaner and then use a quality rubber preservative like Meguirs or something. People have used silicone too I've heard. When my tops start leaking I do the technique and they are fine for a few months. When the leak again I repeat the treatment.

EDIT:

I forgot to add that if you close the windows with the doors open it seems to help a lot.

it cost like $500 to replace. sumthin like that. try to tighten the seal with the window. that helps for mine. i just open the window and close it again in case the rubber got pinned down

Stretch the rubber by hand. Then use some protectant on them. Also make sure the handle for the T Top is fully parked. it will stretch back the seal a little more.

FYI my seals don't leak a drop.. not all cars do it, its when the rubber gets old/non-rubbery....
Keep it upkept....

As for what to do once it start leaking, I dunno... never found a good solution in my other NX'n
