ok i was driving to the mall this evening and its raining here...since i rarely take the ss out in the rain i have never noticed that there is a huge leak on the drivers side t-top...so i took the door panel off rearranged the window to go up higher and then i sprayed (like it was raining) onto the window still leaking...it seams that the t-top isn't down far enough and its getting around the window and into the weatherstrip and leaking into the car...how do i tighten the top down further? i am afraid to ask my moron techs because they never give me a straight answer about MY car...they feel i shouldn't improve my knowledge because i am a girl...but thats ok because i have all of you guys/gals to ask!

Sounds like a trip to the body shop is in order.

Did you have any wind noise from there?

I have had nothing out of the ordinary....but i did notice that the top on the pass side is alot harder to close down then the drivers side which locks very easy!

I would for sure have the techs look at it. Sounds like it's not seating properly in the
track.

They have been known to blow off on the highway if they're not locked down. I figured you would have had some wind noise though

Get it looked at - soon!

i hate people like that. put them in their place hon. i had the same problem with my '99, and the dealer replaced the weather stipping, and it never leaked again.

The t-top should have adjustments if you take the plastic cover off it. You should be able to raise and lower the t-top to the weatherstrip.
