Default softtop leaking after snow storm

hey guys, we had our first "snow storm" today, not really a storm but it poured down a good 2-3 inches

anyway, i went to brush the snow off my car and started driving and suddenly water started dripping down from the upper left corner where the softtop meets the A pillar and window, it seems to drip more when im braking

this has never happened before, even in heavy rain, anyone know whats up and how i could fix this?

thanks

minh

Sometimes I'll get some water in there. I think it's from water that's gotten in when the door is opened. It's not necessarily a "leak". It can't hurt to get some Shin-Etsu White Lithium Grease from your local dealership. Expect to pay about $18.00, but it's good stuff.

Same thing happened to me. Is it coming from the corner? I think it is because water gets trapped there when you open the door because it seems that it doesn't leak before I get in.

I think you guys are right. Alittle snow falls between the top and windshield then melts because of the inside temperature then refreeze's and expands. The cycle starts again when you re-enter the car and the ice melts.
