Default Leaky OEM Hardtop

Hey guys,

I recently acquired an OEM hardtop (w00t!), and the other day we had some rain. Unfortunately, I noticed it leaks in one spot. Can anyone tell me if this spot is due to the window seals, or is there something else that could cause it to leak?

It is coming out of the little vent hole that is located on the bottom of the thin trim piece that goes around the window.

you need to double check the hardtop adjustment and get it adjusted as good as possible. once it is adjusted the best you can, also make sure the hardtop is perfectly centered on the car, left to right ( drivers side to passenger side). then if still having leaks, take out the door window seals and you will see the channels that hold the door window seals can be adjusted inward or outward. seems like yours are not sealing tight enough against the door window. this should fix it. if not, maybe time for new door window seals. how old is the hardtop? hope this fill fix the problem. also helps cutting down on wind noise.
