If it doesn't leak in 10 hours, it won't leak in 48. There's nothing "natural" on the top or seals to absorb water or change in any other short-term way. Now, if you leave it in the sun for a couple years, we can talk about possible UV damage...

My top leaks, but only in hard rain. I was driving home from Az on night in a really bad rain and it started leaking from the split in the rubber seal on the pass window. Right where my girlfriend was sitting. The whole way home it leaked. 6 hours. It wasn't a big deal to me, I was more concerned with hydrolocking w/ my Injen CAI and vented hood! Everything was ok though. I'm also glad I had the S03's and not the S02s

Thanks a lot for all the replies, guys! We've been getting a good deal of rain around here lately, so I checked out the car the day after I dropped it off. No leaks or anything out of the ordinary - so far, so good. Now if they can just repair my car so I can get it back...

My top leaked just like 1FastS2K. This was only the third time she was in the rain, but it was a hard blowing rain, that blew right at the passenger window. Just dripped on my wife for a few miles then it stopped.

I was also happy to have S03's on my car at the time.
