Weatherstrip leaking - fix or replace?
At about 3 spots the weatherstripping is leaking into the car whenever it rains hard (pretty often here in florida). Also, water collects at the two corners of the hatch.
Should I fix these somehow? Or just replace all the weatherstripping? I don't know how to do either one? How hard would it be and how much $ ?

You could install drain tubes to stop the water from collecting in the hatch corners. Weatherstriping is gold expect to pay alot for them thats why i've held back on them.

Why is it so expensive?
Is there any way to stop the leaking without replacing the weatherstripping? Most of the leak is coming from the line where the removable hardtop meets the windshield and the window...

Re: Weatherstrip leaking - fix or replace? (marthpodi)
I dont know exactly why, it just is. I have the same problem with it coming in on the sides.My problem isnt bad so I havent done anything to fix it. I dont know about any fix for it without replaceing the weatherstrips. From your sig it looks like your missing a big chunk of weatherstripping so I say replace it. Hope that helps :seeya
