In 95, they changed the seals to a diffrent style, and with them, they do not leak. Go to the dealer and buy them. Other thing that all sol owners should do is coat the hell out of the seals with Dielectric grease.

Actually I think it's a recall. But even my 97 leaks. It's due to poor maintence of the seals. They should be lubed every couple months.

the question with a convertible is not does it leak, it's where does it leak. I used some black silicone to patch up the rough spots in my weather stripping and it's seems to be hold up well only leaking when raining heavily and i'm parked on a slope. Apply the silicone over rough spots and go over it with masking tape to give a smooth finish. Oem honda rubber is expensive.
