does it leak in even if the windows are up? if its been raining and i roll down the window or open the door, a piss stream of water comes down from right where the window, top and windshield meet. it's pretty annoying because it gets in the car and on the window buttons. never had water leak in if the windows were up though.

Try a bit of shinetsu on the rubber, it helps to keep the seal in a good condition.

ok well then you have a problem. check the rubber seals to make sure they are not torn or deformed. i'm also thinking your top or window could be a little misaligned. you should try what MattG suggested first though and rub some shin-etsu grease on all those rubber seals.

I had this happen once while I was driving, I rolled the window back down and up again and I've never had it before. It was all the way up at the time so not sure why it did that.

I've put some of that shin-etsu now as well.
