Leaking Convertible
I am looking for my next perfect Corvette. In doing so I have heard that convertibles leak. For those of you that have had a C6 convertible, is it common for them to leak?

They don't leak unless the top or a seal has been damaged-

I haven't driven my Corvette convertible in the rain in years! However, on a Rt. 66 trip we drove head on into a black wall of an approaching thunderstorm. Not a drop leaked through and it rained on the car all night in the hotel parking lot. All dry inside.

C5’s had leak issues, Chevy integrated indexing windows on the C6’s and got rid of leaking! 👍
