Re: specialist to sort window seal needed
Take the car to a local meet?
On my car the leak down the speakers actually came through via the door mirror- door mirror support (the black triangle on the a-pillar) out of alignment, actually caused (and made far worse!) by adjusting the window thinking that was out of alignment. The leak down the window is at the very corner where the roof seal meets the seal across the top of the windscreen- if these two seals don't seat correctly then it'll leak from that corner and down the window as well as the speaker.
Cut some small diameter flexible hose down too and fit inside the seals- the seals then are reformed and press onto the window...no more leaks!
