Default water leaks

i was washing my S today, and when i get to the driver side window, on the top right where it curves, theres water leaking, im pretty sure someone else made a post about this or not, but i though i would jus ask, should i take my car into honda and see if its the drop top seal? or could it be anything? sorry if this is a repeat

Use some silicone lubricant on the rubber seal this should help. Do it every 6months or quarter of a year. Simply spray on leave for 30secs then wipe with a tissue (not removing all the lubricant obviously but so its not dripping). This has worked for me.

The other tip I find is dont undo the window whilst its raining, when you do it back up again I occasionally get a small water channel finding its way into the cabin.

Hope this helps

yea i made that post, it happened from washing, in my case where the two pieces of weatherstripping meet a tiny part of the end had came off for some reason, so i just physically forced them together so they butt up, no more probs

Pick up a service manual. The diagrams are really helpful.

Shin-Etsu grease works perfectly for the seal. I forgot how much through the Honda dealer though.
