Hey Guys, some people are not quite as anal about cleaning the S2K as some of us are. Some run it through a car wash for 3 minute's, while I spend 3 days washing, polishing, waxing and detailing my baby. . To each his own.

But it just ain't right to say "I guess I have to take it back to the dealership for warranty repair. What a pain !!!!" Seems like he was intentionally trying to get us going...

Before taking it to the dealer for warranty repair try another test. With the top up and all windows closed drive down a boat ramp into a lake and see if it floats. You should be able to find the source of the leak that way. Bring a can of spray paint to mark where the water is getting in.

Dealer will be able to find your cars problem much faster that way.

My are we being caustic to our new member. Vos2k, I think most of us would rather be shinned alive then trust our babies to a brushless or any other kind of aommercial car wash. They are very dangerous to you car, and as you can see, they are very detrimental to convertibles.
The advice from everone here will be "DON"T DO THAT!"
Please stay away from car washes, they can be hazardous to your car's finish.

LOL. Actually I'm guilty of a pressure rinse once. I used it to remove the train grit on Melissa before I washed her the first time. No harm done that I can tell. She doesn't have a swirly anywhere. I wouldn't let the dealer touch her.
