Default Water leak

I have this water leak that seems to be getting in from the corner of my driver and passenger side window. It seems like the water gets in where the window meets the soft top. Does anyone one have a solution ?

Have you treated the weatherstripping with Shinetsu grease? The difference it makes is impressive. I think it's mentioned in the owners manual. A tube of it lasts forever.

Do use the Shin-Etsu grease, it may take several applications to make a tight seal. Visually check your glass and make sure it aligns with the weatherstripping when in the up position. Another item to check is the drain holes/lines on your car. They remove the water coming off the top, etc and routes it outside the car.

I had some drips coming in by the top corner of my windshield frame close to the striker. I put some Shin-Etsu grease on it and the leak went away.

All of the rubber bits in the top should be getting treated with Shin-Etsu grease regularly. Keeps everything supple and happy.
