The roof looks great. The real test will come when you are driving along into a strong headwind in the rain!
When I was building the Ulster I drilled a couple of small 3mm holes in the corners of the tail floor so that any water that got in through the spare wheel hatch would drain out.
I find that if I have driven on wet roads water actually gets in through the drain holes. I can only assume that there is negative air pressure around the tail of the car which is sucking the water in. The tail section was sealed very thoroughly inside and there is an air-tight bulkhead behind the seat.
Even though my saloons are pretty watertight I still carry an old towel in each, stuffed on the floor behind the drivers seat. You never know when you might develop a leak!
