Wasn't the red triangle a content warning system adopted by Channel 4 when it first aired?

I've heard of strawberry blonde and auburn but never rouge... just another way for a ginger person to deceive themselves into thinking they're normal...
Anyway, I get to find out again today if my car is at least sealed against the least penetrating of Mother Nature's precipitation - snowCheers'en, AndyC

Originally posted by Rusty View PostI just fiddled with my black triangle and moved it 5mm or so. Now that the carpet is out I had the regulation coupe tidal feature in the passenger side foot well. Will do the driver's side some time soon. I am also missing rivets and had a few bits on the A pillar trims that weren't right. Bloody window fitters, do your job right!
When moving the triangle you can go too far and create a gap at the top of the window, I angle mine towards the car so that it has pressure on it and should seal better.
I've got a spare set of black triangles to fiddle with, I've come up with the idea of running a bead of black sealant down the top edge to create a positive seal rather than a flat seal that wicks water.
I want to perform this action but I have some trouble understanding where to underfill the seal.
Can the location be explained further, possibly with other pictures
ThanksNo power, no glory!

after sponging out another inch of tidal flow in the S2 yesterday, I am also forming a queue on this one. I need to get this solved as, its killing my interest in the car at the mo Head lining is soaked on the drivers side rear 1/4. Could be adverse condensation due to the amount of snow and the fact the car hasnt moved since September but could also I guess be the sunroof drains not being fee. But how to reach the rear ones?
Cheers
David
P.S. Thanks for the thread Paul, nice to see someone finally sort it out.sigpic

Was looking at mine again today, things have improved since all the missing rivets were replaced but there's still some getting in and after reading this I had another look at the seal, the lower section down the A pillar is actually swolen with rust so the seal doesn't grip the metal any more.

I will try to snag some better pics and/or a video of this seal trick over the weekend... It really is quite simple, but I admit the existing photos with all shades of black is hard to fathom.
