Hi all,

My van has suddenly started leaking pretty seriously when it rains.  The
water is coming in from the two front corners of the poptop, and it runs
down the bunched-up poptop fabric inside and then into the van.  This seems
to have started all of a sudden - not a gradual increasing link.  The seals
don't seem to be bad - I have other leaky seals, but the ones at the front
of the poptop look okay to me.

I don't know exactly when it started, but it could have been when I put the
struts on to assist on lifting the top with the kayak up there.  Has anyone
else had this happen when they installed struts?  As if there is constant
pressure lifting the poptop, creating a space for water to come in when it
rains.  It's not particularly related to driving in the rain - happens if
she's parked through the whole storm.

Any thoughts?

Joy
and Matilda, who would rather be dry
