my cabby is letting in water where the window and roof join the winscreen, where all 3 meet there is a small gap at the front about 10mm round on both sides, to me it looks as if the windows should do like an e36 and go up a little when the door shuts, its like the window needs to be up another 10mm to seal, its not all the way accross where the window meets seal, just the little tiny bit at front??

I had a similar problem and solved it with Autoglym convertible hood cleaner kit.(£17 ebay)
It may sound odd but your top needs a clean and then a good conditioning. The top will not soak up and your problems should go away.

Good luck!

Think its more to do with the window as I can almost get my finger in the gap, can't find the window bit on the wiki tho?
