Post windows leak

ran my 98 z28, no t-tops, thru an auto carwash and it leaked thru both the top of the windows when the jets came across. is this a common problem or just mine?

When I first took my car to the car wash, it also leaked in that same spot. Granted I have T-tops, but the tops did not leak!! So I would have to assume that it is a common problem. Thats also why I haven't taken it back to a car-wash!!

I have a 2002 WS6, I cant say that i have had this problem, but that could be because I love my car and want to take a little time and make sure it is looking its best. I professionally detailed cars for a while, and I could tell on every car that came in if it had been hand washed or carwashed.

Same problem here ... driver's side window leaks just a drop here and there. T-Tops don't leak.

I'm installing SFC's next month and hoping they will solve this and a few other minor "fit" problems.

so I'm learning, I'll stay out of car washes and wash it myself. That is what I was thought those high powered carwashes were not good. Thanks.
