Default Leaking top

During the last rain storm I noticed a really bad leak from the from of my top. I thought the weatherstipping was gone but upon close inspection, I noticed a big half moon crack in the front of my top that is causing the leak. Lucked out though, I called my insurance company and they will cover the cost to replace the top. Bonus. If they will cover it, I think I will get a painted hardtop this time and get the glass top redone some other time.

I think my top just developed a leak. While I was sitting here reading this. Weird.
