Default Soft top minor leak.

I got in my car today after work only to discover that when I close the door, the soft topleaks water on to the cup holder slider from the force of the shake. I feel like that's a normal thing but I can never be too careful. Is there some sort of soft top sealer to prevent this from happening?

Clean all your rubber window/soft-top seals, and then massage them with shin-etsu grease to swell them up!

Are you saying that the water drips from the middle of the top over the console? Is it condensation on the inside or is it leaking through the top material?

Now that you mention it, I believe it might be condensation. There was no sign of water when I entered the car, just when I shut the door and the top shook.

You would have to have a lot of moisture inside the car for condensation to form on the roof. I suspect it is coming from something else. Vinyl does not conduct temperature well the way a sheet of metal might.
