For those of you that have "leaking mast syndrome" (LOL), I finally found where some of the water is coming in on my '87 E34. It is coming from beneath the light grey strip on the after portion of the mast. HOpe this helps.
Also, I have two other problems: I have black soot on my alternator; I am sure this is not good. The PO did replace the OEM bracket, so it's not that.
Also, I have read several posts about the engine not turning over when the starter button is hit. I have tried several solutions, but none seem to work. I have replaced the switch; checked and cleaned all the grounds, and eliminated the trailer connectors with terminal blocks, but to no avail. Sometimes the starter will engage, and sometimes not.
Thanks for your help!!!
One more thing. I replaced my teak and holly sole; if anybody wants to see the pic, I can post them.
