Default Leaking convertible top?

Does anyone else have one that leaks above the windows? Mine seems to do it where the frame hinges for opening. The weatherstripping looks to be in good shape too??

Thoughts?

I had the same problem. It needs adjusting. Dealer did mine.

You need some adjustment and you can also do a "window tip" where you adjust the window to tip in more so it touches the weather stripping more than it does now.
