With my recent woes addressed, I've had some kind folks from the SGRetroCar group extend out their advice and help, thank you!
Came to Carros to speak with another SGRetroCar member about the current seals and what we could do to solve the seal issue. If I remember exactly, we were looking at replacing the OEM seals with those from a R107 generation Mercedes-SL, plus extending out the sew by around 2cm.
What I wrote down was as follows:
- Door realignment
- Window realignment
- New seals (Likely from a SL, driver and passenger side, top seal as well)
I'll wait for a quote to survey the total costs to do this and what may need to be sacrificed, but honestly, I never bought into the Elan for it being a convertible since the weather here is scary, so likely will I make do with a semi-permanent solution that will mean the top never goes down.

Hello! I recently did a writeup for this car due to its current status. Link: charadespots |
Well, I hope that after coming back, will Elanmi be in a better condition than it currently is. Fingers crossed. To send off the post, suppose I'll have to come back to some amount of carspotting again.
