Default '93 sol si roof ?s

Well as my changed screenname implies I traded my hatch for a sol. However it does have some hopefully only minor problems.

The roof on the driverside doesn't fully lock, the button inside doesn't move at all but it goes into place & partially locks,

the other thing is and this too is lock related, it'll be held in place when it's on but I can still move the driver side of the roof up a little bit so it doesn't fully lock or seal.

Should I replace just the locking mechanism or should I replace the seal too(as far as I know both are original.)

sounds like the lock isnt locking so id replce that... or maybe take it apart and look at why its not fully locking... maybe it just to be lubed up ... seals around the roof arent cheap haha... i know for a fact... i was priced at honda with my buddies discount that worked there and the seals around the roof was around 300 bucks or more..

I'll see if the seals are bad and need to be replaced then first by washing it & praying there's no leaks .

damn 850?!?!....guess it's a good thing I only have a small leak by where the roof is supposed to lock. I think If I replace the locking mechanism, that miht take care of the leak too.
