I need a full set of new seals for my Delsol CRX. Can anyone tell me if honda dealers are all the same before I waste time calling one after the other in terms of price that is.
I have given up trying to find them anywhere else. Unless someone can suggest something else!

They are SO expensive. Theres a female member selling some on crxaus. you can't get them new from factory anymore.. i've seen a few old stocks for sale on eBay...

i bet any money you have targa leak near the front?

I discovered that the seals aren't the primary cause... it's the drain path that gets blocked through the a-pillar which in turn floods the plastic area above the sun-visors

Thanks so how do you clean that drain path? Its through the seal itself? I dont want to stick anything down the drain (excuse the pun) that will damage the seal.

vaguely remember as i did it when i first got it.. will have to take my targa off again and look at the structure.

from memory i pulled all the palstics off as well as some of the structure that locks the targa in place at the a-pillar/windscreen. there was like a drainage area blocked with mud... poked around with straightened coat-hanger (with cotton covered tip) + degreaser + washdown.


The thing is i'm not sure if the other del sol owners have noticed, but the drainage path in the seal for the a-pillar is actually inside the car...any water 'draining' from the roof should be going through this path inside.

kinda hard to explain unless you look at the a-pillar seals and find the groove with the hole.

can't take pics right now coz my clutch is getting changed after it shattered :/
