my 2018 GS convertible top leaks At this touchless car wash
Cleaning the Convertible Top The convertible top should be cleaned often. Do not use high-pressure car washes as these may cause water to enter the vehicle. Hand wash the convertible top

My 2015 vert has never leaked while driving. It does leak some at the top of the windows in the car wash. I atttibute this to the sideways water stream that you never encounter in everyday driving.
BTW I have stopped using the car wash, too much detergent is used to compensate for no brushes. I use Adams waterless wash, done in 10 minutes if car is not real dirty.

It's not uncommon. The pressure of the water, along with the angle of the stream will find it's way in if possible. I f I hit mine just the right way with the handheld wands, it will let some water in at the top of the side windows.

Ditto here, sideways with my pressure washer and I get a small drip inside the window. Now I use downwards pressure and no leaks. Was on a long road trip with several torrential downpours and no leaks at all.

You do have to be careful to make sure the car wash DOES NOT use hot wax in the sprayers- this can damage the material on the convertible top.
If they offer 3 levels of wash- usually the cheapest one does not have spray wax.
I sure miss the retractable hardtop that was on my XLR.....never had to worry about taking it through a car wash.
