Default drips in the car with window open in rain

Anyone have this problem? Is there a quick fix? Beside quitting smoking. I say this because the prelude was really good at staying dry with the window open a crack in the rain.

You can't compare your Prelude (a coupe) to the S. The window seals aren't the same nor is how the roof meets up with the top of the windshield.

You don't smoke,with the top up,or you learn to live with a few raindrops.

same problem here. i just try not to smoke in the rain.

I wonder if there is some kinda of softtop-safe water repelant that you can strategically apply to the edges of the top to try to 'duct' the water way from the front corner of the softtop... scotchguard maybe?
