My hood is only 18 months old, and it still does it. the roof has no guttering, so the water needs to flow somewhere - usually straight onto the seat!!

I thought you said your car was good mate?  :-*

It only drips when you open the door, the seal is good enough to put it through those big American style carwashes, without any problems
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Well me 2. Not fortunate enough to have garage. Car is only used occasionally so has a pool of water on bot seats when I use it. I have some waterproof overcovers which catch most of it but its not ideal. Also the car is very steamy when I drive for the first few miles. Spose I'll just put up with it. Anyone tried changing the rubber seals.GPC do the front and above door seals.

Have you tried adjusting the two hooks that clamp the hood on to the top of the screen , you'l nedd a 10mm spanner, an clean all the seals an wipe over with vasaline an then wipe it off with a clean cloth, ive normally found this to work
