Convertible top Water leaks

I have a problem with a water leak between the top of the drivers window and the rubber gasket on the convertible top on my 2001 convertible. The water drips onto the armrest by the window switches. I know there are weep holes in the gasket to drain the water, and these might be clogged. This may or may not be the problem. Any solutions on how to clear the weep holes in the gasket, or other suggestions for correcting the water leak.

Re: Convertible top Water leaks

You could always replace the weatherstripping for a good solution to your problem...I'm not really sure as to how you could go about cleaning it...but I figure it would probably be much easier if you replaced it...plus, you can never fully tell if you've got those little holes completely cleaned out or not...so the cleaning may become a monthly, or weekly ritual...and that would suck.

Re: Convertible top Water leaks

I had the same problem with my confertible on the driver side only. I had to have the door adjusted so it won't leak anymore. I haven't had any problems since

Regards and Good Luck,
