What have you done today with your Austin Seven
As some here know, I have had that car for a terribly long time and the roof, particularly, has had a chequered history. A very dear friend of mine never fails to remind me of the time I braked and a huge shoot of water went down her neck. The roof had been sealed up in the 50s (though had left the sliding panel). I am being incredibly focused on getting this right. I have promised my friend a ride in the car when complete and I don;t want a repeat performance. I also dont want to immediately ruin the rather nice Simon Laxton provided headlinig kit that is about to be fitted.

To Malcom's point, I think when the car is stationary it will be under the greatest strain, I imagine that when driving, the airflow should blow wany water off the back of the roof - the real issue then will be how well the screen is sealed. That was also refitted as part of this work and is yet to be tested!
