[Healeys] BJ8 Windows

Hi Kees

I live in the centre of England and probably have the only non leaking Healey in torrential English’s rain!

I spent nearly a year adjusting the rake of the windscreen, packing the hood frame pivot point and then adjusting the quarter lights and windows to suite. I then had to build up the wooden frame to fill in the gaps (both sides being different look at any Healey). Then adding the vinyl covers before fitting the aluminium brackets for the rubber seals (I left off the end caps so you get a perfect seal).

Hence I have a 3mm gap around the window to hood that the seal fills perfectly!!!

So I own the mythical unicorn!

So it leaks!

My original top did leak.  Not to toot my own hooter, but after I installed a new Moss top myself, it didn't leak and still doesn't after 18 years.  But when I'm driving in heavy rain, I do sometimes have a leak appear UNDER the dash pad.  My side windows also have the gap with the top.  When I'm driving in rain, it doesn't leak there.  On only one occasion did my driver's seat and floor get wet while parked at a hotel during a hard rain overnight, but I think rain was blowing sideways into that gap with the top.

Actually, Steve Byers claims that his top doesn’t leak...I remember this because he’s the only one to say that to me!

I still think I can do better with these windows though.

Stephen, BJ8
