Thumbs up Rain catch on the side of roof

Everytime I roll down my window while there is still beaded water on my roof all the water comes straight into the cabin. Does anyone else have this problem?

I noticed that if the edges of the roof were cured slightly more then the would get trapped there not not fall all over me.

Is this just my car or does this happen to your as well?

The S2000s I've seen don't have rain gutters along the edge of the roof like hard top cars do. Never seen a convertable with them.

I've got that issues as well. I'm assuming its due to the design of the top. I'm taking it as normal.

I don't see how curing the rubber would have any effect. Maybe you meant curving the rubber. As noted there are no rain gutters on convertibles - bring a towel.

Same thing here. I just figured it was worn out a little or something. I guess it's normal, but very annoying. Oh well. Small price to pay.

Yep, I get it too...

Happened in my 2001.
Happens in my 2007 with softtop.
Happens in my 2007 with hardtop.

It's annoying because if it's raining at all and the windows are down, there will be a stream of water falling directly in the cabin right by my left knee.
