Convertible top leaking

hey just wondering if anyone has had a problem with their convertible top leaking on both sides right at the side windows neer the windshield. Is it the rubber seals or the top itself. I did notice that the stitching on the top in the area is coming apart, but i thought the seals should keep the water out. thanks,

You many have more luck by posting again in the Lounge or Appearance or even Show and Shine section.

From what I have read - once the stitching is split, you're going to have constant trouble.

I noticed on mine, if i did not open the door to put the window up, there would still be a tiny crack of an opening where water would get in.

Mine has leaked from day one, both sides. While it was under warranty, I had the dealer try to fix it 4+ times. They ended up "reinforcing" and "adjusting" the rubber boots on each side of the windshield, but it will still leak in a driving rain. My driver's side speaker died because of water getting in . Hope you have better luck then me!
