i recommend replacing them, but there are rubber cleaners and treatments you can pick up at auto stores that might be worth a shot.

well definately replace them, but if you can't afford that right now (its pretty pricey) then go to honda and get this silicone (i think) seal grease. it eliminated my MINOR leak when i had my Sol. its like $18 for a toothpaste sized tube.

This must have been how the nickname Del-Soak came about.

Ditto might wanna check prices on everything first, might be worth a shot to try some treatments.
BTW HamsterStyle, nice name

You could also have someone spray the top with water while you sit in the car and find where it is leaking from. Then put some type of sealer in it, to hold you over until you get the money to buy new ones.
