Leaky Roof
Went out to the Vette today, dug around on the floor behind the drivers seat and notice it was wet! Well, more than wet, there was a puddle of water from yesterday's rain.
It appears it is mostly likely coming from drivers side rear roof corner, where the T-top meets the window. The rubber molding has small tears looks like it needs replacing.
Any thoughts, where to buy, how easy/hard, should I go ahead and replace the front as well?
Thanks.

Good luck, I spent $900 replacing the weather strip and something else (metal tracks?) at the stealership.
Had to take the car back 4 times and it still leaks a bit. Not to mention the wind noise over 90 mph.

could be the roof but you might want to check the udders first. when they clog up, the water seems to find its way into the passenger compartment as you've described.
hmmm...I reread your post, usually the udder problem results in water on the passenger side. you're probably right about the roof which sucks. check your udders anyway

A hose on the area will tell which it is.
Mine leaks a bit, moreso on the pass side top rear corner (most annoying thing about the car).
There is a window tip in adjustment you can make. Havent done it yet (dont really use the car in the rain much) but it obviously involves pulling the door panel off and I havent wanted to go screwing around in there yet.
