Default Leaking in the Rain

Ouch. I had to park my TT in the open last night and woke to a light but steady drizzle. I'd had water intrusion in the car before so I ran down to check and, sure enough, I was taking on water steadily. Water was dripping from both side windows along the top edges with the drips forming in two places on each window. The forward drips were coming right where the folding top edge meets the fixed edge of the windshield frame. The rear drips were at a hinge point in the top frame.

This is definitely not good (no kidding).

Have others had this problem? Is there a cause other than the design? Is there a cure? I'm going to have to park this outside from time to time.

Thanks,

Larry

I had water leaking into my car once when I went through the car wash.
Hence I've stopped going through the car wash.
But it was coming in through the top of the window on the driver and passanger side.

I've only had it happen in a car wash... never in the rain.

Yes its happened to me on both windows, I got some rubber conditioner stuff and cleaned the seals really well and have not noticed a problem since. *crosses fingers*
