Default convertible top leaks

My 2000 convertible leaks on both sides of the top. On the most forward fold of the top. I also notice alot of air draft while on the highway. Is there an adjustment????. I don't drive in the rain on purpose, but it really got frustrating leaving Carlisle and both my wife and I were holding towels to prevent a flood. Anyone else out there with this issue???

My 2001 convertible doesn't leak in the rain too much, but going through a car wash really gets fun, the top leaks at the top back corner where the window meets the top. Being in a wheelchair, I mostly have to use the car wash. I'm also interested to see if there is any adjustments, or if this is just the price of having the vert!

You can adjust the tilt in of the door windows which might help your leak. Check http://www.***-internet.com/johndenn...ow_tip_in.html
