So it was raining heavy in Socal last night and I noticed that my driver side window is leaking. I notice a couple of drops whenever i go wash my car but last night got me worried. My legs were wet and when i came after parking my car in my window control had water in too. Is this a normal thing for an AP1? Any quick fix?

what year is the car? You might want to have the rubber seals on the soft top inspected as I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be lubricated in some fashion occasionally.

My 2002 had a tiny spot on the passenger side that was leaking just a few drops over a day so I cleaned up the rubber and now it seals fine.

 

mine's an 02 as well.

 

Mine leaks a bit at the joints where the top hinges, right above the window. But only when you run it through a car wash or put a pressure washer to it.

 

My '03 leaks very slightly right where the seals split for the top to fold, I just pushed on the rubber a bit and that seemed to stop it. What would you guys use to lube it?

its cuz u have an AP1...

just listen to everyone already and give them a good cleaning and apply the grease...

wear gloves when you do because that **** isnt the best stuff to be coming in contact with your skin... just a heads up
