I experienced my first bit of disappointment in my new top during the monsoon in Dayton, OH last Friday. I don't know the order of magnitude for measuring rain, but whatever is 2 times greater than Raining Cats and Dogs is what we experienced, and I discovered that my skill in replacing weather-stripping is seriously lacking. I had a near-constant stream of water coming in at the front corner of the driver's window, a spot that ensured that my left leg got drenched, as well as filling my dress shoe while I tried to drive home.


After George and I worked on the top we noticed that there was a bit of sag in the driver's side weather stripping...and I now know the result of not attending to that sag during the dry season. At least I know that it takes a drenching rain to produce the result, as washing the car doesn't appear to cause any interior floods. So...I'll have to purchase the wooden persuader to help in the removal and reinstallation of the weather stripping. I'm just hoping that no other disassembly is required.
