Like many other owners, I've had problems with leaks where the top frame meets the windshield. Re-sealing the drains fixed this.
I've also had problems with leaks near where the middle and rear seals ('guides') meet. Replacing the seals fixed this on the passenger side. I've since read about the shims behind the metal strips that hold the seals and had planned to try adjusting those.
BUT:
in the meantime, I picked up an inexpensive used hard top in my color. I have it mounted now, and it leaks in the same spot (about 2/3 of the way from front to back along the top of the driver's window).
This makes me think that the problem is not with either the soft or hard top, but rather with the position of the window glass. Is it possible to adjust the window to make the top of the glass push in with slightly more pressure?
