Re: leaks !!!!!

Mine does the same thing. I am taking the door panels off to replace window motors soon, so I plan on trying to adjust the window guides at the same time to see if that helps. But I don't drive mine in the rain much, so it doesn't matter a whole lot.

Re: leaks !!!!!

Mine does there a little when I get caught in heavy rains. It's not much, maybe a few drops that easy to wipe dry. My roof, body and seals are all like new. The main hinge point for the roof (bottom back of the door windows) is the most difficult place to seal. There's like half a dozen contributing factors in that area that make it really hard to prevent leaking (the roof hinges there, there's a transition from fender to door, there's a window, and the seat belt guide and tonneau cover are near by). That's a lot of stuff to contend with all within a few inches!!!

I'm not sure anyone (or very few) had that area never leak (unless they've never driven in hard rain). The best you can do is be sure everything is in top (no pun intended ) shape.

Re: leaks !!!!!

ive got a small leak at the front of the top where it meets the windshield and door window. the window isnt tight enough against the top, prob due to body flex. thats my only leak.

Re: leaks !!!!!

i try not drive in the rain but something i get caught (it sucks having my winter beater insure 2 drive on rainy days waste of money) is there any way 2 adjusted the seals at the top the bottom hole does not make that much mess it comes in like a stream when it rains hard at the top back of the windows. maybe the windows need 2 be twicked ? is there any tricks 2 adust the windows.

i had a 85 ttop that leaked in the same spot 2 maybe it just my luck
if i didnt like the like for my thirdgen so much i would sell it and buy and 4 gen ss twice the car!!!
