Maybe your top needs adjustment or the weather stripping has a tear.

You can adjust the top to fit tighter to the car or adjust the window tip in. I have some Word files that describe the procedures. If interested, PM me your e-mail address and I'll forward them to you.

I made the mistake of putting the silicone on the rubber up top and when i washed it or it rained the residue went onto the windshield. My dealership made adjustments to the swivel clamps which drew the top down tighter. After the repair the clamp swivels resisted me alot more when i closed them.dont mess around bring the car in and have it done right,water intrusion can cost alot of money down the road good luck to ya.....
