Default Frustrations

Having some frustrations lately with the Vette. My car is a daily driver. But for most of it's life(previous owner) it was only taken out on sunny sundays. I've driven the car numerous times in the rain in the two months I've owned it.Most of the time without issue until recently.
Last week my "glass" top starting leaking right where the top of the windshield and the glass top meet the driver side window. I tried adusting it down but it didn't work. I still get drips and this morning I come out to find a small puddle in my driver seat. The window is seat properly and I don't feel this has anything to do with it. Is there any other adjustments or anything I can do to remedy this? Someone was speaking of some weatherstripping grease that GM sells that swells the weatherstripping and helps with sealing. Anybody know what this is called(it's not the same stuff you use for spark plug wires). Also,does anybody know the part number for the piece of weatherstripping on the passenger side at the back of the window that runs verticaly? This needs replacing as well.Thanks everyone for your help.

Its a silicone lubricant or grease. Mid America sells it in small tubes.

The weatherstripping that runs along the edge of the roof sides can slightly separate from its track and cause the exact problem you're having. Mine did the same thing but I had to replace the weatherstrip because it would not stay seated. I bet this is your issue.
