vehicle.

I have gotten the impression that the roof seals in the pre-95s were more prone to leak than the later models.

sooner or later, all Sols will leak when the chassis starts folding/flexing. "Scott E.

First: Do you have a name? Second: Please don't shout (i.e. turn off your caps lock). I am familiar with AutoTrader.com . I flew from Atlanta to Allentown, PA about a week ago to examine a red '97 del Sol listed in AutoTrader that I thought might work. After viewing this vehicle I have decided not to pursue it further. AutoTrader has a lot of vehicles from dealers. I don't have a problem with dealers but I would like to make sure that I don't miss other possibilities. Hence this post. As to my budget... I will pay a fair price for the right car... perhaps even more than fair if I find the right car. Do you have a car to sell? ...or is there some other reason for this post?

I believe that Honda redesigned the roof seal system for the 1995's and above. You asked why I was interested in only these years and that is why. I suppose any vehicle that is folding will have difficulties of some sort; whether they be leaks or something more... ahem... structurally dramatic.

Glad to hear it! I've never owned a del Sol so it's good to hear from folks that have extended experience with them. It is my understanding that there was a TSB that addressed the leaking problem. Might your del Sol have gotten "the fix"?

Not sure if I had the leaks fixed or not. I did complain to the dealer once when i was living in Jersey that there were some rattling noises in the roof and they did something with it. I think it also depends on the driver. IF you drive topless and whip the car hard around the corners, then I suppose you will get some rattle and flexes as the car gets older. One thing that I do faithfully every 3 months is that I wipe clean the roof edges, the rubber around it and follow up with a layer of silicone oil to protect it from the elements. as well as putting greases in the 2 aluminum rod that links the roof to the frame. The one regrettable thing about MY DelSol was that I wish I had bought the VTec instead of SI. 125 Hp seems tame after a while. "Scott E.
