Bob,
Yeah. It's definitely the fabric that's gone (I think it's the same fabric
as the hood on a convertible).
I got a contact for a repairer but the cost is quite high and he does away
with the old shutting mechanism and puts a modern one in place - not sure
it'll look right.
So, I think I'll buy a length of fabric and take it apart and see if I can
redo it myself..
thanks anyway
Andy

Andy,
Are you sure it's the fabric? My first car had a metal sunroof (a '51
Austin Devon- does that count as an LBC???). The thing leaked like a sieve,
I was the only one to come to school with an umbrella open while still in
the car.
Turned out that the drains were plugged. It wasn't made expecting the water
not to get by the seal, so they provided a path for it to go down to the
street. A wire hanger and a bit of fishing and I was dry and toasty.
Just a thought,
Bob
