    Another E36 Convertible A Pillar Leak Story

    I've done the miller time fix already but the specific leak where the roof and the windshield meet, still leaks on the seats or your thighs. I haven't spent much time in the car when it leaks, so I had the opportunity this weekend since I got caught in a downpour while parked.

    I used a credit card like membership toysrus card to wedge between the spot and curved it to divert the water away from the seat. Water still dripped but the seats were at least not getting wet.

    Today I got into the passenger side to do the same thing since the rain will continue all night, guess what, the left side leaks no more. I'm figuring if I can build up the gap with some rubber/gasket material I should be able to solve the problem once and for all.

    P.s. The right side already stopped leaking as well. Follow up video once I get into an aesthetic and functional fix.
