Leaking Vert is there....
any way to stop it? I vowed to use this damm thing more...rain or shine. Well My butt and my wifes butt are very wet.....(no I don't have pics of her *** lol) So my question is...are there adjustments or should I bring it to the dealer or a shop the deals in vert tops? But you still can't beat a vert ...my opinion

I have a brand new top, so you can bet I was mad when I saw a puddle sitting in my drivers seat a few weeks ago!
I tracked my problem to the weather stripping on the driver's side combined with a window that had come out of adjustment.
Here's what I did...
1) The nut that controls the pitch of the window was loose! It kept the window from pressing with a enough force on the weather stripping.
You can easily tell if you have this problem. The door will rattle when the window is down. The solution is simple. Pop off the reflector on the door and feel around for a nut inside the door. If you can spin it, then you need to tighten it up. Directions can be found on the board. There are two other locations for window adjustment, but I didn't need to mess with those.
2) My weather stripping still looked good, so I didn't want to replace it. My solution was to shoot a little "Great Stuff" expanding foam insulation into the weather stripping.
I used the variety found in the blue can that stays flexible. It's made for windows and doors. Put a piece of tape over the any holes in the weather stripping. That way when the foam expands it will stick to the tape and NOT your top. That stuff is a bear to scrape off...ask me how I know!
