Default Top Leaking Water...errrrrrrrrr

Today was the first day i drove my car in a really, really bad rain storm and it was leaking water pretty bad. The drivers front corner was the worst place and in the middle where the convertable top breaks when opening. Is anyone else having this problem??? And is there anything i can do?? I really love my car but if there isnt anything i can do id start to hate it since i live in South Florida where it rains alot. Plz help im desperate!! Thxs!!!!

how old is your car? have you been taking care of the rubber seals like you are suppose to? they need to be greased every so often to keep them in good condition.

Honda makes a Shin Etsu grease that you are suppose to apply to the seals. A couple of other things you might want to check is that the top is aligned properly and that none of the latches/strikers are loose.

The top seems to be aligned properly but i will double check that. And the latches seem fine too. But will also double check that. Thxs again.

Mine does it to on the driver side. I had a thread about this a while back. The water seems to collect inside of the rubber seal.
