Try having a body shop adjust the tilt of your windows inward a bit. They will then sit tighter against the weatherstripping and may stop the leak.

it could even be the adjustment on the top itself.

I had that problem on a Firebird w/ T tops. It's a window adjustment.

Mine leaks at the clips.....drip,drip,drip in hard rains. I am currently experimenting with changing the location of the clips that came in the instructions. For the glass top the clip location was the front most place but on the color top the location is second position back and it doesn't leak. So I have placed one clip at the second position and am waiting for a good rain or a good wash. Last weekend I did a good wash and had a big leak on the pass side because I didn't get the weatherstrip back correctly. It's on okay now.....more later!! It is a possibility tat I might have to use a small amout of sealer around the clip (window clip).
