Might be your rubber seals. The Del Sol's were known for having this issue in the first couple years they made them. This problem was fixed in the 1995's, 96's, and 97's. Your Honda dealership should be able to fix it no sweat. Not sure if it was a recall or not, but I'd check with the dealership in case it was since they'd fix it for free. Otherwise it was a fairly easy thing to fix I believe, although I can't remember off the top of my head what to do. Try here for some information:

They've got a lot of info on the cars. And since your info states you have a '93 Del Sol, here's some recall and service info as well:

...for being fixed in '95, mine sure does have that problem often as well.
but I know what my problem is...I never lube the seals.
Lubing the seals should help you out too.

Oh man I have the same problem. It is so annoying, its to the point where I carry a small towel in the car with me just to dry up all the water. If anybody knows what to do let me know. I don't want to go to a dealer and have them charge me $125 dollars to fix the weather stripping. Any help would be great.

Mine actually leaked just a tiny bit where the roof met the front windshield and side windows on both sides. The previous owner didn't really take time to address the seals, so I have started doing so. I've been using silicone grease which I got from Honda (use the part number in the information below) to care for the seals which the top rests on.

For the other seals like where the windows touch, buy silicone spray from the Honda dealership as well. I did and it works very well in reconditioning the seals and dries so it doesn't smear the windows.
You'll probably be out like $20 for both together, but better than $200 plus mine hasn't leaked since. Give that a shot first and see if it takes care of your problems.
