I'm getting an air leak/whistle from the front center of the top when closed. Seems worse in the cold and when driving into wind. Anyone recommend a weatherstrip material to adhere to the bottom of the convertible top? Even if the weatherstripping on the windshield part is deteriating -- it looks to be one huge piece and surely must cost a fortune. Padding/filling the gap from the convertible top perspective seems the right choice. thanks, m

What exactly is the purpose of boots on convertibles? Is it just for appearance?

| I have a 2002 Sebring Conv GTC. I am moving from Las Vegas to the New England states. How does the conv. top hold up to the winters there, (i.e snow on top). What other advise could someone provide to winterize my car for the weather there? Someone has told me I would need a heater for the engine, is that true? | |
Hello - I live in England and have just bought a 2nd hand '04 Sebring convertible which is quite unusual over here. We love the car but have noticed that the roof is beginning to separate from the rear window glass which is a bit worrying as it rains a lot here in Devon. Can anyone tell me is this is something I can fix myself with some kind of generic glue or something or is it more complicated than that. Otherwise we love the car, having just sold our '93 Lebaron to get this.

From the inside, I placed "duct" tape (a heavy duty tape, very adhesive, used to seal heating ducts in the U.S.) over the entire inside edge of the top, overlapping the window by about 1/2 inch. So that from the outside there is a narrow cavity formed between the window and roof. 2. Using marine silicone adhesive, I spread a generous line of the adhesive in the cavity described above, even with the top edge of the window. 3. After the adhesive has cured (I waited a week), I poured water over the seal to test for any leaks. Then applied more of the adhesive to the area where the leak was located. This approach was performed last summer, and it lasted throughout the winter and spring. I should mention that the vehicle is kept garaged all year round. Good luck! |

I have a 2001 convertible. I'm trying to find a solution for wind noise when top is closed. The drivers side latch does not pull tight even after adjusting the pin (hook). The manual does not show ways to adjust the top and I really want to learn how to adjust it w/o taking it to the dealership. Surely someone can help me? Thanks, Jim |

Somebody please help me out or lead me in the right direction! Thanks, Jim |

I currently own a '97 Sebring Convertible and would like to wash the top. I don't know what to use to wash the black streaks away and what to use to preserve the top. You know, so the top beads up water? Can anyone suggest something to me? Thanks so much, Kathy
