Thumbs up Leaky Trunk from Softtop

I hope some of you may have a solution to this. I'm clueless honestly at this point.

I tested this while washing my car. When running water down on the drive side of the car, there are no leaks and strains correctly. But when I spray water on the passenger side, on the bottom edge of the soft top, it just strains down into my trunk.

I have no idea how to access the appropriate parts necessary to fix this leak but its pretty bad.

I bought this car about 7 months ago. Great car, no issues at all but this. Soft top is new / aftermarket. Would anyone have any suggestions ?

Below are images of the leaks, hope it will help. I can provide more if necessary. Forgive the monkey hands.

I have the same issue, new top was also put on recently before I bought it. Interesting wonder if this is common on or just coincidence.

Mayb the rain rail was not put in correctly or it must of came loose during the installation. Compare it to the othet side and see whats missing.

Where is the rain rail? Or maybe I should ask, what is the rain rail.

Its a piece that attaches the cloth soft top to the car. Its along the back from the driver side to the passenger side. Its #5 in this website: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...H+%28+02-06%29

You need to remove alot of plastic and tighten the rain rail. Its 3 metal pieces. That should hopefully do it. When i changed me top it did the same thing and i had to tighten mine.
