I do have a number of Word files that address water leaks in the C5 - they may give you some help. Send me an e-mail so I can get a good e-mail address for you and I can send the files your way. Or if you find you can send a Private Message, do that and include your e-mail address in the message.
There may be a convertible window setting issue. Factory allows the window to automatically drop slightly while the door is cracked open, until the door is closed again. IF your car window doesn’t drop when opening and raises again when the door is closed you need to have the window reset. Unless your door seals are shot you’ll be a safe,dry, happy camper
Welcome to the Forum! You'll find a wealth of information, including an answer to your question. First thing would be to inspect the seals and determine if they are still pliable. Could also be an adjustment issue. The Search feature is a great tool to research questions. Give that a try as well. Good luck and again, Welcome!
Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your new Corvette. We'd love to see some pics. The first thing to try would be to apply some dielectric grease to all the seals around the top. You would be shocked at how often this solves the issue. I would bet that will work for you. It's cheap and very easy. If you still have a leak, I would check the back window. If it has started to separate from the top you have a much larger issue. Glue can be a temporary fix, but You'll ultimately need a new top if this is the problem. If the window is in place and not leaking, and the dielectric grease didn't solve your problem, then you can start looking at window adjustment Good luck with this issue. I hope your new C5 brings you many miles of smiles.
