I put mine on the other day, and I had a look at the seal as the roof leaks very slightly in the passenger side top corner. I wonder if it's a historical problem because it looked as though some 'sealant' had been applied previously. Is this just one of those things that we can't fix.... and yet it never leaks with the soft top on!

Mine actually leaks from the top of the window where it meets the roof,both sides,same place..It's not a bad leak,but it is annoying..And you're right,it never leaks with the soft top on..
Funny enough,we had the first rain yesterday,and the roads transformed into rivers at a blink of an eye..It hasn't rained since may..
The SL will take a back seat to the 4x4 now..Nissan Patrol 4.8 VTC 280hp..
It does'nt exist in Europe..It is only a Middle East and Australia model..
Tip shift and all the rest...0-60 in 8.5s and I have seen 125MPH on the speedo..A first for a Patrol...
Just thought I'd mention it as nobody knows[in the outside world] that Nissan even makes a petrol Patrol...
