I did not know you could leave your vette out in the rain. I must have missed that in the manual. That's it then ! I am kicking my vette out of the garage and renting the space to a neighbor to store his Edsel until he decides to restore it.
Good luck !

A body shop can adjust the window so it tilts in tighter to the weatherstrip. That may help.

Before you order an expensive new weatherstrip, email me at edbon@adelphia.net and I'll send you the window tip-in adjustment which can tighten the seal between the strip and the window.

use some Black RTV sealant and sprerad it around the area where it was leaking. that always sealed up some rotted ares of the strip for me.
