!!!!Need Help Leak
So I live in WA and it rains all the dam time. I've taken the car to the dealer and they replaced the window seals on both sides, and when they do their "Water Test" there is no problem, but last night i left the car out over night and i wake up to a car full of water. I've had this problem the day after I got the car from the dealer. As I drive on the Hwy you can here air coming in the crack. I need help and i don't know what to do. And the leak is on both sides. Where the targa top and the windshield meet. This has been a ongoing problem and my car is no longer covered. The best part the dealer closed down.

You might try to adjust the window, Adjust the top in a bit more and see if that helps.

Tools Required
#6 Inverted TORX® Socket
Position the window fully up.
Remove the large access plug from under the front of the door.
Loosen the window regulator front channel mounting nut.
Remove the reflector from the trim panel
Loosen the jack screw jam nut.
Adjust tip in with the jack screw.
Turn the jack screw clockwise to tip the window outward.

Raise the window and check the alignment.

I've got a Word file that was made up from posts here on the forum concerning water leaks. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address. I also have files on the window adjustment and targa top adjustments.
