Roof leaking



Hi guys,

I haven't had my car long, and this past week was the first time I had
ever driven it in rain. I discovered that when it's raining hard, quite a
bit of water drips from the area near the passenger's sun visor. I just
had the headliners replaced, so I certainly want to stop the leak before
the foam rots out. 

As some of you guys might remember from the Chicago tech session, the
passenger side of my car has been abused a bit. The tortion bar on that
side is bent so badly that we couldn't get it to come out of the car. The
T panel on the roof is bent up a bit on the passenger's side, and there's
a crack that runs from the top to the bottom of the windshield. It looks
like someone who didn't know what they were doing tried to adjust the
door. 

Since the windshield is cracked, a new windshield is on my list of things
to get. Do you think that some of the sealent that's used to hold the
windshiled in might be cracked, allowing water to rush up the windshiled,
underneath the black metal trim, and into the headliner? I'm thinking that
this might be the case, and once the new windshield is fitted, that will
solve the rain problem.

Also, passenger side seal E in this picture:

has quite a few holes in it. Or to put it better, it's almost as good as
missing. The rest of the seals on the passengers side seem to be fine, so
I'd assume that any rain that gets in through there would just be routed
around and down to come out at the bottom of the door. Is this right, or
might that water be able to get into the headliner near the sun visor? The
water really seems to pour when I'm braking.

By the way, I never moved any further on installing the DVD player/GPS
unit. If I'm sure that someone soon will make an all in one unit that will
fit in the DeLorean's single stereo bay.
