I can see that the 2005's have a problem with the rear window seal. What else should I look for?

Thanks in advance

Hey Tropper ... just my thoughts on this ....
Most of the back window problems have been on cars from warmer southern parts and if the car has been in Ontario area most of the time (or all) that's good. If the window is secure and appears not to have been previously repaired, then it probably will be OK. With this said, make sure the top mechanism works smoothly and the top itself is in reasonably good shape.
We don't know if it is Autostick or manual shift .... that would also have some replies. I'm sure others with chime in here. Good Luck

EDIT: AIG beat me to it.... LOL
