My new Favorit

[richardsfavorit]

That looks fantastic! I think I saw it advertised a week or so ago, its a great looking car. Well done

Lovely Favorit you've got there, what is the mileage?

 

You might be lucky with the sunroof, try this, when you've wound it fully shut, apply a little more pressure to the handle, you might just find it clicks into a final position and pulls the roof down tighter as it does! I thought mine had a slight leak when I first got it (same roof as yours) then discovered the last owner hadn't been closing it all the way as it has a tighter last bit where it "locks down" so to speak.

 

In any case, you can unlock and lift the panel out easily, then carefully clean the seal with baby wipes and polish the inside of the glass, this should sort out any drips if the above doesn't work

Cleaned the seal on the sunroof as you said. Seems to 'not leak' at the moment!

Also got the rear light unit replaced.

Put the 2 front tyres (fairly new-ish) on the back, and replaced the other 2 with new tyres on the front. All four balanced and tracking done. Car now drives beautifully, no vibrations, no pulling to the side.

 

Also replaced 2 of the exhaust hanger rubbers which has got rid of the annoying 'clunk' as the exhaust middle box hit the car floor.

 

All in all I'm very impressed with it as a little car. Very economical too.

Rear wiper motor fixed. Turns out it was a sticking brush. Easy fix.
